DELAND, Fla. – Bethune-Cookman University Tennis began the George Henry era Sunday morning with the Wildcat men dropping a 5-2 decision to Stetson at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.

Stetson (1-2) took the doubles point and four of the six singles matches to spoil Henry's debut as Wildcat coach of a young men's squad.

"I'm excited to have young players with such talent," Henry said. "Any first year coach building a program with a team consisting of four freshman, a junior and a sophomore would feel it a blessing.
 
"Considering the short amount of preparation time as a team and being such a young and inexperienced team, we need to make a few adjustments here and there," Henry added. "But I felt the team played well."
 
Highlighting the day were singles victories by Victor Castro at No. 1 and Gerhard Sullwald at No. 3 singles. The two were leading their No. 1 doubles match when play was suspended.
 
"Sulllwald and Castro both brought their "A" games," Henry said. "I was really impressed with their competitive spirits."
 
BCU returns to action Wednesday at Embry-Riddle.
