CARY, N.C. – Georgia Tech men’s tennis was unable to keep its run alive, falling 4-1 to fourth-seeded Notre Dame on Friday afternoon at the Cary Tennis Park.
The Yellow Jackets finish the season 8-17 overall after a thrilling run that included three-straight victories and led them to make the ACC Tournament quarterfinals for the fourth-straight season.
Tech attacked the doubles matches early, as Phillip Gresk and Andrew Li were able to down Guillermo Cabrera and Alex Lebedev, 6-2 at the No. 3 spot to set the tone. Elijah Melendez and Chris Yun then clinched the doubles point by defeating Grayson Broadus and Richard Ciamarra, 6-4, to put the Jackets up 1-0.
