MILWAUKEE – After splitting the first two games of the 2022-23 season, MSOE men's tennis was looking to move one game above .500 when they took on Saint Ambrose at McKinley Courts on Milwaukee's lakefront. The Raiders pulled out some close wins and took care of business in pairs play as they beat the Fighting Bees 6-3.

MATCH SCORE
Saint Ambrose – 3
MSOE RAIDERS – 6

HOW IT HAPPENED

• MSOE (2-1) lost the first game in doubles action 8-5 but the duos of Miguel Lopez / Emilio Ulloa and Josh Fay/Alex Nakasato grabbed the other two matches with respective scores of 8-5 and 8-3.
• However, where the Raiders really earned the win against Saint Ambrose (5-2) was in singles play. Both Daniel Lukasek (4-6, 7-5, 10-8) and Joe Chong (5-7, 6-4, 10-2) had to head into a third set tiebreak to secure their wins while the third and fourth matches went the way of SAU.
• Thankfully Nakasato and Fay were able to secure the match winning sets in the fifth and six spots with 6-3, 6-2 and 6-4, 7-6 victories.

WHAT'S NEXT
The Raiders have one more match on Saturday before they pack things in for the fall. That match will be down in Illinois against Wheaton starting at 5:30 pm.
