The Lourdes men's tennis team opened the 2022-2023 season on Wednesday afternoon defeating Illinois College 9-0 before downing Anderson 8-1 at the AU Tennis Courts in Anderson, Ind.
"I could not be more grateful for the support I received from last year's squad for our recruitment efforts," head coach

Their collective choice to be gracious and collaborative is going to set the tone for the remainder of the season, and there is more to come."
