PRINCETON, N.J. - The Saint Joseph's men's tennis team lost its second match in a row on Sunday in a 6-1 defeat to the Princeton Tigers. Junior Pat Adams earned SJU's only point as he won his match at #2 singles.

Adams trailed his opponent, Ryan Kim, by a set but took a 3-1 lead in the second when Kim was forced to retire, giving the point to Adams and the Hawks.

The Hawks will now take nearly three weeks off before their next match, a Friday afternoon contest with UMBC scheduled for March 14. The match will be SJU's 2008 home opener.
