The Michigan Tech men's tennis team dropped a pair of GLIAC matchups this weekend against two of the league's top squads. The Huskies fell to Grand Valley State 8-1 Saturday and suffered a 9-0 defeat today at the hands of Ferris State.
Grand Valley State 8, Michigan Tech 1
Robin Duhnsen claimed the lone victory for the Huskies this weekend by earning a 7-5, 3-6, 11-9 win at No. 2 singles.
Tech battled but fell just short in numerous matches on the day, including at both the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles positions where they fell 8-6 and 8-5, respectively.
Ferris State 9, Michigan Tech 0
GLIAC-leading Ferris State handed Tech a 9-0 defeat earlier today in Big Rapids, Michigan.
Built Yumuang had the best performance by all Huskies and came close to clinching a point for Tech, but his solid effort eventually came up just short in a 7-5, 6-7, 6-10 battle at No. 3 singles.
"It was a tough weekend against two pretty darn good teams," said head coach Kevin Kalinec. "We'll take what we can from these matches, continue to progress this week and focus on preparing for the home stretch of the season."
Michigan Tech (4-9 overall; 1-5 GLIAC) plays host to Lake Superior State next weekend (April 16) at Gates Tennis Center in Houghton.
