ST. JOSEPH – After an important win to close the regular season Sunday, it’s on to the postseason for the Missouri Western tennis team, which earned the No. six seed in the MIAA Tournament with a 5-4 victory over Lindenwood.

Missouri Western will open the MIAA Tennis Tournament on Friday, April 29 at noon against third seeded Nebraska-Kearney. UNK took the regular season matchup, 7-2, on March 29. All MIAA Tournament play will be held at the Cooper Tennis Complex in Springfield, Missouri. The Griffons’ win in the regular season finale helped them avoid a first round matchup with second seeded Southwest Baptist, which defeated Missouri Western 9-0 on April 15.

In head coach Shawn Becker’s first season at Missouri Western, he led the team to a 10-5 overall record and a 5-5 record in MIAA play.
