MARION, Ind. - Grace's men's tennis team was unable to pull off the championship upset, losing to No. 14 Indiana Wesleyan 4-0 on Saturday morning.

The Lancers (11-2) took down No. 19 Marian in the semifinals of the Crossroads League Tournament on Thursday. But two days later, Grace came up short in the title bout with the Wildcats (11-0).

Max Rozas and Fabricio Galvan were defeated at No. 1 doubles by the score of 6-3, and Pavle Popovic and Ivan Antinori also lost 6-3.

Ramiro Candia and Mauricio Corty were ahead 4-3 at No. 2 doubles, but the match was cut short after the overall doubles' point was secured by IWU.

The Wildcats quickly won at No. 2, 3 and 4 singles in straight sets to earn the tournament championship; IWU also earned an automatic bid to the NAIA Championships during the spring.

Next week, the Lancers will take on the ITA Regional Tournament. Rozas will aim to defend his ITA regional singles' crown during the tournament.
