3/2/2022 10:00:00 AM | Men's Tennis
TOLEDO, Ohio – The University of Toledo men's tennis team will close out its non-conference schedule with back-to-back matches in Cleveland, Ohio on Thursday, March 3. The Rockets will play Cleveland State at 10:00 a.m. followed by Holy Cross College at 2:00 p.m. in the Medical Mutual Tennis Pavilion.
"This pair of Thursday matches will give us another large test before conference play," head coach Al Wermer said. "We play a handful of teams that are very best in their leagues – they're used to winning. CSU is one of those. They have a strong winning tradition going."

Junior Luka Jankovic clinched the 4-3 match point for the Rockets over UNOH on Wednesday, after defeating Canaan Sellers in two sets on the No. 6 court. Junior Marko Galic clinched the 5-2 match point for the Rockets over IUPUI on Friday and 5-2 match point Dayton on Sunday. Galic defeated both IUPUI's Nate Day and Dayton's Steven Karl in two sets. Sophomore Pawit Sornlaksup went 3-0 over the weekend on the Rockets' No. 1 court and has won his last eight singles matches.
