SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. -- The Michigan Tech men's tennis team was defeated by a score of 9-0 today at Lake Superior State.

Because of the absence of number two singles player Rajiv Nanjandareddy, most of the Huskies' lineup played a flight up from their normal position.

Number six singles player Alan Parenteau was able to come away with the most games of any MTU player in his 6-4, 6-0 loss.

In doubles, Lake Superior State swept all three matches. MTU's Yassine Borkadi and Chris Calder combined to push their number two double match to an 8-5 score.
