The Tar Heel State was not friendly to the men's tennis team this weekend.
On a Friday-to-Sunday road trip to North Carolina, the Red and Blue were shut out in both their matches this weekend by 7-0 scores.
Both defeats came at the hands of ACC powerhouses. The No. 12 Duke Blue Devils (3-2) easily dispatched the No. 64 Quakers on Friday in a match which featured star junior Jason Pinsky's first loss of the season.
Sunday's match at No. 38 North Carolina State brought no consolation. The Wolfpack (6-0) dominated Penn from start to finish, with freshman Adam Schwartz the only Quakers player to win a single set.
The losses drop the Quakers to 1-4 on the young season, but the road only gets tougher. At the National Indoor Championships in Chicago next Friday, the men will face their highest-ranked opponent of the season, the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs.
