CANTON, N.Y.—The Hobart tennis team suffered a 6-1 defeat at the hands of St. Lawrence this afternoon. The loss drops Hobart's record to 3-10, while the Saints improve to 4-5.

Senior Matt Jacobus (South Burlington/South Burlington, Vt.) picked up the lone point for Hobart, winning sixth singles 2-6, 6-1, 11-9.

The Statesmen also won third doubles behind the play of Jacobus and sophomore Nick Raho (Wheeler School/Providence, R.I.), but St. Lawrence won at first and second doubles to win the point.
