The Liberty men's tennis team won the doubles point, but the host Old Dominion Monarchs used its success in singles to hand the Flames a 5-2 setback, Sunday afternoon at the Folkes-Stevens Tennis Center.

Giancarlo Lemmi and Chad Simpson put the doubles point in the Liberty column, dowing Albert Ochagavia and Alfredo Rodriguez, 8-4.
The host Monarchs took over in singles, winning five of the six matches contested. Newcomer Ben Wirth picked up the lone Flames victory in the No. 6 contest, coming back from a set down for a 2-6, 6-2, 10-6 win over Rodriguez.
