Box Score Chicago, IL - The Grace men's tennis team competed hard against NCAA DIII Dominican University Friday evening, eventually falling 9-0. The Tigers would lead sets at certain points in multiple flights, but could not get over the hump to capture any. Overall, many positives could be taken from the brand new squad's first match of the 2018 spring campaign.
"The guys fought from the first point to the last, left everything out on the court and showed great improvement throughout the contest," commented Head Coach
Ty Jansma. "We're really proud of them."
