Men's Tennis Edged Out By Baldwin-Wallace in OAC Tournament Semifinals

Baldwin-Wallace improves to 19-4 overall and advances to take on top-seeded Ohio Northern Saturday at 2 pm in the championship match with the winner getting an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

B-W won two of three highly contested doubles matches with the Raiders only win came at first doubles from Brian Mogus (Canton/Canton South) and Yasuhiro Anno (Fukucka, Japan), 8-6.

The Yellow Jackets went up 3-1 with a win at No. 6 singles before the Raiders tied the match with a three-set win from Mogus at No. 2 and a win by Zach Perry (Hudson/Hudson) at No. 1 singles.

B-W then got a win at No. 3 then closed out the match when an injury at No. 4 singles forced the match to be finished.

Mount Union seniors Mogus, Brian Widdoes (Reynoldsburg/Reynoldsburg) and Travis Papay (Chagrin Falls/Kenston) close out their careers as one of the most successful senior classes in school history and they and the rest of the Raiders will wait until next week to see if they get at an at-large selection to the NCAA Tournament.
