[FONT="]The No. 19 University of Florida men’s tennis team gave No. 14 Florida State its first loss of the year and came up with one of its biggest as the Gators won, 5-2, Saturday afternoon at the Ring Tennis Complex in Gainesville. The Gators remained perfect at home and improved their record to 4-2, while the Seminoles slipped to 6-1. [/FONT][FONT="]

[FONT="]Florida head coach Andy Jackson improved to 30-2 against in-state opponents in his seven years at UF and in addition led the Gators to their eighth win in nine meetings with FSU under his direction. [/FONT]

“I am happy for the team,” said Jackson. “Florida State is a good team and (Nestor) Briceno did not play for us in the singles due to a stomach bug. The five freshmen and one senior that did play singles should be proud they beat one of the better teams in the country. However, I think right now we are playing at 50 percent of what we are capable of playing at by the end of the year.”
