Orlando, Fla. - The Adelphi University men's tennis team edged Bentley University 5-4 on Tuesday to improve to 5-3 on the season. The Falcons slip to 3-5 overall with the loss.

The last four singles slots proved crucial in the Panther victory as the Falcons took the top two singles matches and two-of-three in doubles play. Boris Tiberkov and Chiwete Njokanma fought to an 8-6 win at No. 3 doubles for the lone partner win and then secured singles victories at the No. 5 and 6 slots, respectively.
