The Concordia University tennis teams had a successful weekend in Missouri as the men captured the 2009 Concordia Invitational Tournament championship while the women took two single matches from perennially strong teams.
The Bulldog men played through an adjusted schedule for the Concordia Invitational Tournament but cruised in the opening round, 9-0 over the Concordia Seminary, to set up a matchup with Concordia University Wisconsin. The Bulldogs had to fight off three tiebreakers but were able to hold on for a 5-4 victory over the Falcons to claim the title.
Concordia's women had a much less dramatic weekend as the Bulldogs took matches from Maryville (Mo.) 9-0, and Webster (Mo.) 8-1. The Friday afternoon match with Lindenwood was rained out.
Next action for the Bulldogs comes Wednesday, April 1, as Concordia travels to Fremont, Neb., as both the women and men will take on the Midland Lutheran College Warriors. The match is set to begin at 4 p.m. at Fremont High School.
