The Drake Men’s Tennis team began conference play this past month in the start of their 2019 portion of their season. Last spring the Bulldogs were champions at the Summit League tournament that qualified them for the NCAA tournament. Although they ultimately came up short in the NCAA tournament, their 2017-2018 season set a precedent for the team’s potential.
With many of the men from last season returning, plus a fair amount of new talent, this 2018-2019 season is already showing great potential. The Summit League, the conference that the Bulldogs have recently joined, released a preseason poll that showed Drake has the favorite to win the conference yet again.
