Eagles leave Springfield with 5-2 loss to Prairie Stars

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.--- University of Southern Indiana Men's Tennis (7-5, 2-2 GLVC) was defeated 5-2 in their Great Lakes Valley Conference match this morning by University of Illinois Springfield (8-3, 2-2 GLVC), 5-2 at Chatham Glenwood High School.

DOUBLES: The Screaming Eagles were swept in all matches by the Prairie Stars, dropping the doubles point. Senior Kooper Falkenstein and sophomore Preston Cameron did make it interesting losing in the No. 3 doubles before falling, 7-6. 

SINGLES: Senior Spencer Blandford had a heck of a No.6 singles victory prevailing in a tiebreaker set, 11-9. Blandford picked up his second win on the year.
