Fighting Scots Finish Second at PSAC Men's Tennis Championships

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – The Edinboro men's tennis team made its seventh straight appearance in the PSAC Tournament finals on Saturday afternoon. Mercyhurst would claim their third straight PSAC crown by way of a 4-2 decision over the Fighting Scots.

Edinboro is now 15-6, while Mercyhurst is 17-3. The Lakers came in ranked second in the latest NCAA Division II Atlantic Region rankings, while the Fighting Scots were third. Mercyhurst receives the PSAC's automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament, while Edinboro is expected to receive an at-large bid. The NCAA will announce the tournament field on Tuesday, May 7.

Edinboro and Mercyhurst were meeting for the fifth straight year in the finals. The Fighting Scots won PSAC titles from 2014-16, while the Lakers have now claimed the last three.

Mercyhurst would build a 1-0 lead with wins in two of the three doubles matches. Edinboro prevailed at number three doubles, with Mauricio Santos and Nils Plutat combining for a 6-3 win. The duo remained undefeated at 10-0.
 
The Fighting Scots would win two singles matches behind a pair of freshman. Tommy Hsu won 6-4, 6-2 at number four singles, and Julius Schulte was a 6-4, 6-3 winner at number six singles.
 
Mercyhurst would claim singles wins at number one, three, and five. Unfortunately, Kevin Mboko suffered an injury during the second set against Arseniy Sklyarov and was forced to retire after that set after winning the first set 7-6 (4), before losing the second 6-4.
