PHILADELPHIA -- Drexel Tennis' men fell Wednesday afternoon in their final nonconference match of the year at Temple, 5-2. The match was a makeup for the snowed out Philly Six Invitational in late January.

The Owls jumped on the Dragons (12-7, 2-2 CAA) from the start, winning the doubles point and then taking four of the six singles matches. Kashyap Ashok and Sinan Orhon were the only Dragons pair to play to victory in doubles, earning a win over Florian Mayer and Uladzimir Durash at No. 2, 6-3. Drexel was able to force a three-set match at No. 3 and pick up wins Nos. 4 and 6. Orhon continued his strong freshman compaign, beating Nicolos Paulus, 6-4, 6-0, for his team-leading 19th victory of the year. Daniil Ginzburg, playing well at No. 6, took down Mayer, 6-4, 6-1 to cap the Dragons' afternoon on North Broad.

The Dragons will conclude the regular season on Saturday morning when they travel to James Madison to take on the Dukes.
