ELON, N.C. – The Fighting Camels dropped their first conference match of the season, falling to Elon 6-1 Wednesday afternoon at the Jimmy Powell Tennis Center.
 
Mikolaj Kowal and Ethan Richardson earned a win on doubles court number three to force a winner-take-all match on court two, but Elon's duo of Oskar Antinheimo and Rafael Ymer won that in a tiebreaker to win the point for the Phoenix.
 
Elon went on to win the first five singles matches, clinching the team victory on court four, once again off the efforts of Antinheimo.
 
Campbell's lone victory came by way of Thomas Drapeau on court one. He bounced back after losing the first set to win a tiebreaker in set two and a super tiebreaker in set three over Veljko Krstic.
