No. 21 Stevens NCAA Matchup Announced
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (May 9, 2016) – The No. 21 Stevens Institute of Technology men's tennis team will play the University of Southern Maine Friday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Bowdoin College.
The Ducks earned the automatic bid Sunday after capturing their seventh consecutive Empire 8 Conference Championship in a 5-1 win over second-seeded Ithaca College. The winner of the Stevens/Southern Maine matchup will battle Massachusetts Institute of Technology Saturday.
The NCAA Tournament appearance will be the ninth overall for Stevens, and seventh in-a-row. The Ducks have advanced to the second round in each of their last seven appearances, including a program-best round of 16 appearance in 2013.
Stevens and Southern Maine met in the first round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament, where Stevens came away with a 6-0 win.
