KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- The Western Michigan men's tennis team started hot against No. 15 seeded Illinois, but the Fighting Illini battled back to a 4-1 win over the Broncos in the NCAA Tournament.
“I thought it was a great environment for a collegiate tennis match, both fan bases were really into it,” Head coach Dave Morin said. “We really played well and got off to a great start in doubles and that carried over into the singles. It was much closer than the 4-1 score would indicate. This is something that we can build on going into next year as we continue to pursue the goal of advancing in the NCAA Tournament.
