RALEIGH, N.C. – The Shaw University men's tennis team dropped its fourth consecutive match on Tuesday afternoon, as the Bears were edged by Chowan University, 4-3 at Lions Park. The Bears won the doubles point but the Hawks won 4-of-6 singles competition.

Senior Ngonidzashe Makambwa (Mabelreign Harare, Zimbabwe) picked up a 6-3, 6-4 win at the No. 2 singles and junior Gabe Munoz (La Paz, Bolivia) earned his second win of the season at the No. 6 singles by default.
