FINDLAY, Ohio -- Michigan Tech secured a 5-4 win at Findlay today thanks to a three-set victory at number two singles from senior Rick Halverson. The Huskies split their two Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference matches on the road trip to move to 6-12 overall and 1-2 in league play on the season.

Tech led by a 2-1 team score after doubles. Chris Calder and Brett Girard combined for an 8-4 victory at number one doubles. Alan Parenteau and Brandon Ellefson then scored an 8-6 triumph at number three doubles.

Findlay's Steven Fox evened the match score at 2-2 with a 6-1, 6-3 win at number four singles. Ellefson and Girard then put the Huskies up, 4-2, by surrendering just six games each in straight set victories at number three and one singles, respectively.

The Oilers claimed a win at number five singles before Halverson's 6-7, 6-4, 6-4 triumph put the match away.

"Yesterday's match gave us experience that helped us today," said head coach Mike Axford. "We played each point better and were able to string those together for good results."

Tech lost, 9-0, in its opening match of the weekend at Mercyhurst. Calder had the closest match of the day with a third-set super tiebreaker loss at number five singles, 7-6, 3-6, 1-0 (10-5).
