FORT MYERS, Fla. - Junior No. 2 Dan Pergel prevailed in the final match of the day but host Florida Gulf Coast University (1-0) posted a 6-1 win over Binghamton men's tennis in the season opener for both teams Friday night at the FGCU Tennis Complex. 

Pergel shook off an opening-set hole, evened the match in a second-set tiebreak and won it 10-7 in the super tiebreak. 

Earlier, the No. 3 doubles tandem of junior Adi Ben-Ari and sophomore Courage Crawford were engaged in a tight battle when the match was halted after the Eagles clinched the doubles point.
