MURFREESBORO, Tennessee — The University of Iowa men’s tennis team dropped their match today against Middle Tennessee State at the Adams Tennis Complex in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

Iowa started the day by giving up the doubles point. Senior Dominic Patrick and sophomore Josh Silverstein had the only Hawkeye win in doubles, defeating Miguel Negre and Robin Riethmueller, 6-2.
