MEN’S TENNIS

The HU men’s tennis team spent their Saturday at Sutter Tennis Center on the campus of Indiana Wesleyan where they ran up against two quality teams to suffer a pair of losses.

The morning saw the Foresters lose to the undefeated Wildcats (9-0, 7-0) by a score of 6-3. In the afternoon, Eckert’s crew experienced a similar fate against Judson by dropping a 6-2 match.

Three wins is the most points any team has scored off of Indiana Wesleyan this season.

With these two losses, Huntington drops to 5-4 overall, 4-3 in league play. The Foresters will look to get back on track Tuesday when they host Bethel at 4:00 p.m.
