Maryville, TN – Henning Kuich and Derick Wood played well Sunday but the UVa-Wise men’s tennis dropped a decision at Maryville (TN) College. Kuich and Wood took the top two singles matches and the first doubles but was not enough as the Scots won 5-2.

Kuich won 8-6 and Wood took an 8-5 singles scores as UVa-Wise saw its mark drop to 2-10 on the year. The duo won 8-0 in the first doubles but the victory did not count due to the match being scored by the NCAA seven point match rule.
