FORT WAYNE, Ind. - In a showdown between two teams that used to be common opponents during the NAIA and WHAC days, the Davenport men's tennis team beat Indiana Tech 4-3 on Friday to extend their record to 13-1 this season. The Warriors fall to 8-2 on the season.

Indiana Tech gained momentum at three singles as Anastasis Lavdas got a big win over Jonathan Bulmer in three sets after Bulmer won the first set 6-4. Lavdas rallied to finish up 6-4, 6-4 in the next two sets. Phil Labbe at four singles won 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 against Joel Mast.
