Huskies Sweep Tiffin at GLIAC Tournament

MIDLAND, Mich. - Michigan Tech moved into the fifth-place match of the GLIAC Men's Tennis Tournament with a 5-0 victory over Tiffin this afternoon. The Huskies are 1-1 in the tournament after a 5-2 loss to Ferris State late last night.

Tech's sweep of Tiffin improved its record to 10-9 overall.

The Black and Gold jumped out to a strong lead and closed out all three doubles matches. James Konarske and Chris Verhulst won the closest of the three flights with an 8-5 score at No. 3.

All six singles matches were started, but only two finished because the match was halted once the team outcome was decided. Anders Sandholm won his No. 2 singles match with a 6-1, 6-0 score. Doug Yossida clinched the fifth team point with a 6-3, 6-4 victory at No. 3.

"We were able to start well in doubles and pull away at the end," said head coach Mike Axford. "Anders played a great match at No. 2.

"This was a good way to carry momentum into tomorrow's match."

Michigan Tech will look to guarantee itself a winning season with a victory in tomorrow's fifth-place match vs. Lake Superior State. The final round of the GLIAC Tournament is set to get underway at 9 a.m.
