Blame Schreiner's slow start on the cold weather but the Mountaineers dropped all three doubles matches and couldn't recover in a 6-3 loss to Austin College at the Cree Tennis Center in Kerrville.

Austin College had a pretty easy time cruising through SU's three doubles units and quickly were up 3-0.

In singles action, sophomore Tory Manchester quickly earned the Mountaineers' (2-7) first point at #4 with a 6-1, 6-2 win.  Unfortunately, SU lost at #1 singles and trailed 4-1.  When Schreiner also lost at #3 singles, Austin had the match wrapped up.

Still, several Mountaineers kept fighting to the end.  Sophomore Danny Okland battled back after losing the first set to score a 5-7, 6-2 (10-8) win at #2 singles and freshman Jesse McKinney won at #6 singles in straight sets (6-3, 6-2).  Sophomore Stephen Franklin lost at #5 singles in three sets, 7-6, 2-6, 5-7.

SU now is off for 10 days before returning to the court.
