Both women’s and men’s tennis won the MAC Championships — the men after a 7-game win streak at the end of the regular season that left them the #1 seed; the women after struggling within the conference but dominating elsewhere. The women still beat their conference rivals where it counted, upsetting #1 Miami-Ohio in the first round and #2 Northern Illinois in the second. The men breezed through their matches against #4 Miami-Ohio and #3 Michigan.
Both teams now head to Columbus where they each play Ohio State in the NCAA Championships.
