MEN’S TENNIS

With a conference tournament title on the line, the top-seeded Lancers of Grace College came out as victors, 4-0, over the 2nd-seeded HU men’s tennis team at the Don Cramer Tennis Courts. As the Crossroads League champions, the Lancers earn an automatic bid to the NAIA National Tournament this spring.

While the Foresters’ only win of the day came at #1 doubles, fans saw a battle of quality tennis between two very talented squads. The loss is Huntington’s second to the Lancers and just their second on the season as they move to 10-2 with only ITA Regionals left on the fall portion of their schedule.
