In the No. 3 doubles match, nadav Ruppin and Liran Levy lost to Losta Blank and Illia Ziamtsou 8-2.
In singles play, the only victory for the Eagles came in the No.3 singles match as Ruppin defeated Ziamtsou 6-2, 6-1.
“We played well, but we just couldn't put the opponents away in some games,” head coach Cid Carvalho said. “I think that's just lack of playing right now. I hope we can work on that as the season goes on. Nadav had a very good match today, winning at No. 2 singles in straight sets.”
