Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University men's tennis squad claimed an impressive regional win on Sunday (Feb. 28) as the Bulldogs pulled out a 4-3 road victory over Hillsdale to run their winning streak to four-straight matches overall.

Overall, Ferris State is now 4-2 overall with both of the setbacks coming to open the year against NCAA Division I Western Michigan.

Ferris State earned the doubles point by claiming a 6-1 win at the number one flight behind the pairing of Mathis Guerre and Jan Koupil in addition to a 7-5 win by Yannic Alexander Mader and Ayush Deswal at the number three spot in the lineup.

Guerre and Mader were joined by Benjamin Lortie in emerging victorious in singles play. Guerre won in straight-sets at the first flight with Mader and Lortie taking the third and fourth positions, respectively, in straight-sets as well.

The Bulldogs are next slated to take the court on Saturday, March 13, with yet another regional match against Lewis (Ill.) in Plainfield, Ill.
