After dropping five straight GLIAC matches, the men’s tennis Huskies head into the GLIAC Tournament riding high after sweeping this past weekend’s matches against Tiffin and Ferris State to finish their regular season 8-8 overall and 2-5 in the GLIAC, good for the sixth-seed this weekend.
With their sixth-seed placement, the Huskies will likely face either Wayne State or Ferris State in their opening match. Both the Warriors and the Bulldogs are 5-1 at this point in GLIAC play with one match to go. The Huskies lost 5-4 to the Warriors on Mar. 26, and 8-1 to Ferris State on Mar. 21.
The Warriors (13-6 overall) are paced by sophomore Bertrand Moulin (19-3 overall) who has posted a 14-2 record in dual matches this season in the number one spot. Senior Britton Steele (5-13 overall) has a 4-12 record in the number two slot. Freshman Thomas Ducret (13-5 overall) has posted a 13-2 record in the number three spot.
The fourth singles player, freshman Oscar Gamarra (9-8 overall) has an 8-7 record in dual matches. Senior Roberto Gomez (9-4 overall) has been the most effective fifth slot player with a record of 5-2 in dual matches. Freshman Jon Groszek (10-3 overall) has a 9-1 record at the number six spot.
For the Bulldogs (9-6 overall), Kyle Revall, a senior, leads the way, having posted a 6-7 record at number singles thus far this season. Classmate Ahmet Demir (7-7 overall) has a 6-6 record at number two singles. Sophomore Jack Swan (9-6 overall) at number three singles is 8-5 in dual matches.
Junior Steven Roberts (11-3 overall) has a 4-2 record at number four singles and a 6-1 record at number five singles. Sophomore Justin Hermes (6-8 overall) is 4-1 at number five singles but is 2-6 in the number four slot. Freshman Tyler Marengo (9-3 overall) is 8-2 in dual matches at number six singles.
Of course, should the Huskies survive their opening match with a win they will likely face No. 15 Northwood in the second round of the tournament. The Timberwolves (8-4 overall, 5-0 GLIAC) are limping a little bit after falling over the weekend to No. 20 Drury, 5-4.
For the Huskies, sophomore Luka Stupar (10-9 overall) continues to play strong tennis, going 8-8 in dual matches at number one singles. Sophomore Anders Sandholm (9-7 overall) is 9-6 at number two singles. Junior David Heuer continues to earn victories at number three singles as he is now 9-4 on the season.
Sophomore Douglas Yossida (9-8 overall) is now 6-6 in dual matches at number four singles. Junior Chris Verhulst (8-8 overall) is 3-0 at number four singles and 5-7 at number five singles. Senior Tim Viola (7-8 overall) has posted a 5-6 record in dual matches this season at number six singles.
The Huskies will be keeping an eye on the final four GLIAC matches over the next few days in order to find out who their first opponent will be. Wayne State faces Northwood on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Ferris State travels to Grand Valley State and Findlay faces Tiffin. Finally, Findlay faces Northwood on Thursday to finish the GLIAC Regular Season Schedule.

With a 25-2 regular season behind them, the Huskies’ women’s basketball team began what many are hoping will be a long postseason run. Even though Michigan Tech earned the top seed in the GLIAC Tournament, Tuesday’s quarterfinal opponent, the Northwood Timberwolves, had challenged Michigan Tech to four- and eight-point margins earlier this year. This time was different. The Huskies stormed out of the gates and never looked back, earning a strong 78-52 victory over the injury-depleted T’Wolves.
