KALAMAZOO, MI – The University at Buffalo men's tennis team wrapped up their fall season this past weekend as the Bulls took part in the MAC Indoor Tournament, held by Western Michigan.

The final victory was an 8-4 win against a duo from Toledo. Tom Owen and Greg Hastings finished in third place in the third doubles flight. They won their opening match 8-6, before falling 8-6 in the semis. They closed out doubles play with the 8-3 win over Binghamton.

In singles, senior Simon Wibler made it to the finals of the second singles flight as he won his first match 7-5, 7-6 (5) and then he overcame a first set loss in the semis with a 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (5) win. Wibler won his opening set in the finals, but lost in three sets.

Cheng Tang played at first singles, dropping his first two matches, but Tang finished on a high note with a 7-6, 6-1 victory on Sunday. At third singles, Macnamara dropped his first match, but then came away with a 6-4, 6-3 win in his first consolation bracket match. Macnamara lost on Sunday morning, 6-4, 6-4.

Snaiders played the fourth singles flight where he won his first match in the consolation bracket with a 6-3, 3-6, 10-7 victory. Hastings and Owen both played in the fifth singles flight and Hastings scored a win on the final day of competition with a 6-4, 6-3 victory.

"This weekend was a good gauge for where we stand against conference opponents," said head coach Lee Nickell. "We had mixed results, but overall, I am proud of our fight and willingness to learn. We have a lot of things to work on, but we are excited to get back in the spring and show the world what we can do."
