Midland, Mich. - Lewis University's remarkable 2010 men's tennis campaign came to an end on Thursday (May 6) afternoon, as No. 15 Northwood defeated the visiting Flyers, 5-0, in the opening round of the NCAA Men's Tennis Tournament.
Lewis ends the season with a record of 16-8, while the Timberwolves improve to 14-4 and will take on either Southern Indiana or Ferris State in the second round. Lewis finished with four wins for the entire 2009 season.
"We did not execute in doubles and it put us in a big hole today," Lewis head men's tennis coach Brett Bridel said. "The guys fought hard in singles, but we had zero room for error.
"It was, however, a great accomplishment for us to get to the national tournament and we look forward to improving on that performance next season."
A Catholic university sponsored by the De La Salle Christian Brothers, Lewis offers more than 80 undergraduate majors and programs of study, accelerated degree completion options for working adults, various aviation programs and 22 graduate programs in nine fields. The ninth largest private, not-for-profit university in Illinois is being honored for the sixth consecutive year by The Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report.
