TAMPA, Fla. - The Georgetown University men's tennis team was not able to overcome University of South Florida's home court advantage, falling 4-0 to the third-seeded Bulls in the first round of the BIG EAST Men's Tennis Tournament on Friday afternoon.

The sixth-seeded Hoyas won just one set, as sophomore Anthony Tan (Jakarta, Indonesia/Anglo-Chinese Junior College) took the first set, 7-6 from Jamal Adderley in the No. 3 singles match, before it was halted when South Florida clinched the match.

Junior Kenneth Wong (Repulse Bay, Hong Kong/St. Paul's [N.H.]) led, 4-1 in the second set against Thomas Estrada, after falling 6-4 in the first. Wong's match would also be cut short due to the Bulls clinching victory.
