Final Results

Lourdes saw its 2023-2024 men's tennis season come to a close on Wednesday morning as the Gray Wolves dropped a 4-0 decision to Indiana Tech in the second round of the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference tournament at Midland Tennis Center in Midland, Mich.

"I am immeasurably proud of the effort put forth by these men today" head coach Epifani Jones said afterwards.  "Throughout the challenges of the season, each month they got stronger, smarter, and more bonded, and today's matches represented the best cumulative performance since the onset of the program.  For six men to carry the spring contests with positivity, empathy, and grace is more than I could ask for, and it was an apex moment as a coach."
 
Fourth-seeded Indiana Tech (8-6) opened the match by winning the doubles point with victories at the first and third spots.  The Gray Wolf team of Joshua Parish (Columbus, Ohio/Cristo Rey H.S.) and Jaden Coley (Columbus, Ohio/Reynoldsburg H.S.) fell 6-1 at the top of the order while Aryan Mittal (Ghaziabad, India/DPS Indirapuram) and Luis Guzman (Santo Domingo, D.R./Cranston East [R.I.] H.S.) dropped a 6-2 decision at third doubles.  Victor Dieltiens (Altea, Spain/Sint Eduardus [Belgium]) and Alvaro Trillo-Sanchez (Madrid, Spain/Churchill County [Nev.] H.S.) trailed 5-4 when the match was stopped because the point had been decided.
 
Lourdes (6-11) battled in singles as well, coming up just short.  Mittal lost at 6-3, 6-2 match at number three while Guzman fell 6-3, 6-4 at the fourth spot.  Coley dropped his sixth singles match 6-2, 6-3 giving the Warriors the four points they needed to advance.
