KING'S MEN'S TENNIS FALLS TO FDU 5-4, SETTLES FOR THIRD SEED IN FREEDOM TOURNEY

MADISON, NJ -- The King's  College men's tennis team missed out on a chance to secure the second seed for next week's Freedom Conference Tournament when the Monarchs dropped a 5-4 decision to host FDU-Florham Saturday in Madison, NJ. 

The loss dropped King's (9-9/3-3 Freedom) into a second-place tie with FDU but the Devils (10-9/3-3) gained the second seed based on its head-to-head win over King's.
