INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Less than a week ago, the men's tennis team traveled to face Marian University and came home with a disappointing loss. Today, the Lancers made a much happier trip home from Indianapolis after defeating the Knights 4-2 and advancing to the finals of the Crossroads League Tournament.

Grace (10-2) earned a tough point in doubles play when Ivan Antinori and Facundo Paredes captured the No. 1 spot 7-6, winning the tiebreaker 7-5. Max Rozas and Nicolas Doria had already won at No. 3 doubles 6-3.

Four of the six singles matches went to a third set in the very closely contested match. After Rozas took No. 1 singles 6-3, 6-3, Marian won a pair of three-set matches at the No. 2 and No. 3 contests to even the overall match at 2-2. 

Parades came back to win at No. 5 singles 0-6, 6-4, 6-3, just before Doria clinched the win for Grace by taking No. 6 singles 7-5, 6-4. 

The Lancers will play the winner of Huntington and Indiana Wesleyan in the Crossroads League championship on Saturday.
