GEORGETOWN, TEXAS - Men's Tennis traveled to Claremont, CA for the opportunity to play against some top-ranked teams at the Stag-Hen Invitational, including last year's national champions, Case Western Reserve. Case Western Reserve, currently ranked #4 in the Country, handed the Pirates a tough loss, winning 7-0 on Friday afternoon. Later that evening, the #17 Pirates took on #26 Pomona-Pitzer. Pitzer proved to be too much for the Pirates, winning 4-1. Lastly, the Pirates finished out a grueling week of playing five matches against five ranked teams in five days against #33 George Fox. The Bruins outlasted the Pirates, winning 5-2.
