University of Southern Indiana Men’s Tennis received the number seven seed in the NCAA II Men’s Tennis Championship Midwest Regional and will travel to face second seed and host University of Indianapolis Saturday at 10 a.m. (CST) at Center Grove High School in Greenwood, Indiana.
This is the eighth consecutive year and 14th time overall that the Screaming Eagles have qualified for the NCAA II Tournament. The Eagles last won the Midwest Regional in 2013.
USI will try to bounce back against the Greyhounds, who defeated the Eagles 8-1 April 14 at the USI Tennis Courts. Picking up the lone point in that match for the Eagles was the duo of senior Aaron Barris (Marietta, Georgia) and junior Samuel Kiladejo (London, England) with a 9-7 win at number two doubles.
The other match taking place at Indianapolis will be third-seeded Drury University taking on sixth-seeded Northwood University. On the other half of the bracket, top seed and host Ferris State University has a first round bye and will play the winner of fourth seeded Grand Valley State University and fifth seeded Rockhurst University.
