HILLSDALE, Mich.--- University of Southern Indiana Men's Tennis (3-1) was defeated by Hillsdale College (6-1), 6-1 in a Midwest Regional face-off Sunday morning in Michigan.

DOUBLES: In the No. 3 doubles the Screaming Eagles pair of senior Kooper Falkenstein and sophomore Preston Cameron triumphed over their opponents in 6-3 fashion. In the No. 1 and No.2, the Eagles both dropped straight sets to their opponents which handed the Chargers the double point.

Cameron went from being down one set to narrowly falling in quite the battle of the tiebreaker set, 11-9. Senior Spencer Blandford had a similar story in the No. 6 match after falling down one set early, winning the next and losing in tightly contested tiebreaker, 10-7.
