Eagles' season ends with NCAA loss to UIndy

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men's Tennis saw their season come to an end Saturday afternoon, when they fell 5-2 to Indianapolis in the first round of the NCAA II Midwest Regional at the UIndy Tennis Center.

The Screaming Eagles took a 2-1 lead after doubles play, but were unable to hold on for the upset win.

After falling behind the second-seeded Greyhounds after number three doubles, the seventh-seeded Eagles came back at number two doubles with an 8-4 win by sophomore Ilia Karelin (Ekaterinburg, Russia) and freshman Denis Davydov (Chorvatsky Grob, Slovakia). USI would take the lead after junior Samuel Kiladejo (London, England) and senior Aaron Barris (Marietta, Georgia) upset No. 16 Arklon Huertas Del Pino and Andrea Morlet 8-6 at number one.

USI was unable to win a singles match as UIndy took the first four matches to be completed for the 5-2 win. Barris battled at number three, winning the first set 6-4, and was tied 5-5 in the second, but the game was unfinished as the match had already been decided.

The Eagles concluded the season 16-11, their eighth consecutive winning season.
