ATLANTA – After blanking Mercer last weekend in Georgia State's first win of the season, the Panthers will travel to take on cross-town foe Georgia Tech (3-2) on Friday. 

GSU (1-2) returns to the court after a successful contest at Mercer which brought many firsts for this year's squad. Newcomers, Mihai Marinescu and Harvey Maughan, both recorded their first singles wins in blue and white. While veterans, Andrei Duarte and Diego Padilha registered their first victories of this year's campaign. 

The Panthers were able to secure the doubles point for the second time this season. No. 30 Andrei Duarte and Roberts Grinvalds recorded a 6-2 win on court one. Marinescu and Kevin Huynh found their second victory as a pair with a 6-3 result on the third court. 

Georgia State will face a Georgia Tech team that is coming off a tough weekend, which resulted in two losses for the Jackets. First, Georgia Tech came up short to No. 12 Georgia, 4-2, last Friday before falling to No. 21 South Carolina, 4-1, on Sunday. 

Friday's contest is set for a 5 p.m. first serve. The match is closed to the general public. Fans can stream the action live on YouTube or follow along via live stats.
