Cleveland State Men's Tennis Finishes Day Two of the Viking Invite

Cleveland, Ohio- The Green & White end Day Two of the Viking Invitational with stellar performances despite the losses. 

To start of the day with doubles a team of Connor Thornton/Alexander Nikolov played one match in a back draw match against a team from Mercyhurst to advance to the final in the round of 32 back draw. The other Vikings' doubles team Emil Dapcevic and Nicolas Wild played two matches and went 1-1 on the day.
 
The Vikings ended the day with singles with Nicolas Wild in the Round of 32 back draw going 2-0 on the day and advances to the semi-finals for the round of 32 back draw. For the main draw Alexander Nikolov and Max Henson reached the quarter finals but fell short against tough competition. Tristan Stine in a three-set thriller fell just short of the win. Emil Dapcevic in the round of 16 fell short of the victory against a tough opponent.

Quote from Coach EtzkinGreat team energy today couple breakers to go to the semis for the guys. Saw high level tennis. Encourages me for the spring season.
