KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- The two teams split during the regular season and shared the Mid-American Conference Regular-Season Championship, so it was only fitting that Western Michigan and Toledo met for the MAC Tournament Championship on Sunday afternoon inside West Hills Athletic Club.
Doubles action would only provide a snapshot of the intensity the match would provide. WMU earned a victory at the No. 3 spot, as and collected a 7-5 victory. The other two doubles matches went to tiebreakers, but it was the Rockets that were able to claim the coveted doubles point and take a 1-0 lead into singles play.
