Franciscan 5, Pitt.-Greensburg 2

Greensburg, Pa. - Franciscan Men's Tennis made the trip over the Pitt.Greensburg to take on the Bobcats indoors on Tuesday. A young group with just one returner playing today represented the Barons, as several players are studying abroad in Austria this fall. The Barons were able to take care of business and secure the non-conference win to start the season.
