Tuesday, May 20, 2008

Mankato, Minn.—The Bethany men’s tennis team finished with a humble 1-13 record (1-7 UMAC). They beat UM-Morris and narrowly lost to MLC 5-4 in New Ulm. A bit of inexperience and tough match-ups plagued the Vikings.

Senior Ryan Latterman (Cottonwood, Ariz./Mingus Union) played number one for the Vikings and always faced the top competition. It was Latterman’s third year in the number one spot.
