MADISON, Wis. – With just one week remaining until their Northern Athletics Conference opener, the Edgewood College men's tennis team again challenged themselves with strong non-conference competition. The Eagles dropped a pair of matches to Augustana College (Ill.) and UW-La Crosse by identical scores of 9-0 on Saturday at Nieslen Tennis Stadium.

Edgewood College (1-13) pushed Augustana (8-5) hard in doubles play, with Tim Morgan and Michael Wanta dropping an 8-5 decision to Lawrence and Will Palmer at No. 2 doubles, and Max Divelbiss and Cody Strebig losing 8-4 at No. 1 doubles. Strebig had the Eagles' closest match in singles play, losing to the Vikings' Adam DeSimone 6-3, 6-2 at the No. 1 position.

The Eagles found less success against UW-La Crosse (8-10). Morgan posted a 6-0, 6-4 loss at No. 3 singles, while Wanta dropped a 6-2, 6-1 match to UW-La Crosse's Matt Bulger at No. 5 singles.

Edgewood College will play at Lawrence University tomorrow afternoon, in their last match before their NAC openers next Saturday. The Eagles will host MSOE and Wisconsin Lutheran College at Rennebohm Park, beginning at 10:00 a.m.
