WASHINGTON– The Georgetown University men's tennis team defeated William & Mary in a come-from-behind victory on Tuesday afternoon in Williamsburg, Virginia.

With the win, the Hoyas improve to 4-10 and the Tribe slips to 3-13.
 
In doubles action, the Hoyas started the match with a win by default at No. 3 due to a short Tribe bench.
