UB’s men’s tennis team (12-5, 7-0 Mid-American Conference) capped off a perfect MAC season with a 4-3 win over the Northern Illinois Huskies (13-11, 25 MAC) Sunday afternoon. The Bulls are the first team to go undefeated in MAC play in 18 years.
This has been one of the best for the Bulls season in years. The tennis team locked up the number one seed Friday with their 6-1 win over the Ball State Cardinals (13-11, 2-4 MAC). Sunday's win locked them in as sole winners for the MAC regular season championship.
“I feel like it’s a little bit bigger of an accomplishment than winning the tournament just because it’s over an extended period of time,” said Bulls head coach Lee Nickell.
