THOMASVILLE, Ga. – The University of South Alabama men's tennis team had three players lose in their respective flight finals at the Thomasville Invitational Sunday held at the Glen Arven Country Club.

Senior Pierre Noyon (Oye-Plage, France) fell in the A draw, and sophomore Lucas Gonzalez (Chateauroux, France) and junior Olivier Gingras (Quebec City, Quebec, Canada) lost in the B draw and consolation B draw, respectively.

Leo Blay of Valdosta State defeated Noyon 6-1, 6-4, and Serdar Bojadjieva of West Florida downed Gonzalez 6-1, 6-4.

Gingras rallied from a first-set loss before falling in a third-set supertiebreaker to Florida A&M's Courage Okungbowa 6-0, 3-6, (10-5).

"Lucas and Pierre had big matches today," USA head coach Nick Brochu said. "They played against clay court players and it showed. We fought hard and never gave up even after losing the first sets.

"We saw some good things today and some things we need to work on. We now have two weeks to get better before our next tournament."

The Jaguars return to the court Sept. 30 for the Southern Miss Invitational.
