Box Score WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Junior Rob Smith (Middleburg, Pa./Selinsgrove) moved into a tie for second in school history with 13 singles wins this year as he was one of four Lycoming College men's tennis players to post a singles win, but the team's rally came up just short, as Mount Aloysius used three doubles wins to edge out Lycoming, 5-4, at Bruce Henry Park in non-conference action on Friday, April 28.
