Tennis: Wildcats claim LSC title

April 24, 2012 by Matthew Sloan

This weekend, the men’s and women’s tennis team breezed through the LoneStar Conference tournament in order to continue their reign of dominance.

The men began their weekend by ending Cameron’s hopes of an LSC title 5-2. The Wildcats were met by stiff competition from the start, with three competitive doubles matches, but were able to enter singles play with a 2-1 lead.

From there, the ‘Cats pulled away, lead by Hans Hach and Nick Plum, who won their first and second line matches in straight sets and left the Aggies on life support.

Borja Cortes finished off the Aggies, and sent ACU to the championship match with his come from behind win, and the ‘Cats were in the finals to defend their title against Incarnate Word.

The next day, the ‘Cats won their fourth consecutive LSC title with ease 5-1. ACU won all three doubles matches and never looked back, torching the Cardinals and taking home the hardware.

Freshman Michael Morris turned heads when he helped account for two of the five points with his outstanding singles and doubles play.

“I knew when I came here that ACU was dominant in the LoneStar Conference,” Morris said. “It was one of the main reasons I came here is to win conference championships.”

The women’s tennis team absolutely obliterated their two opponents on their way to a fifth straight LSC title.

The ‘Cats did not drop a set the entire weekend. In fact, they were not even close.

On Friday, ACU disposed of Tarleton State 5-0 to advance to the conference finals.

After winning all of the doubles matches, Brittany Reed and Hannah Kelley scored the last two points for the ‘Cats by winning their matches as quickly as possible.

Reed dropped only one game in the entire match, and Kelley blanked her opponent 6-0, 6-0.

Saturday’s championship match was much of the same for the ‘Cats, who swept Cameron 5-0 to capture the LSC crown in commanding fashion.

Emily Conrad and Kelley earned the two points for ACU in singles play, and the Wildcats were perfect again in the doubles matches.

The victory earns ACU their tenth championship since 2000 and puts them in position to host the South Central Regional tournament this weekend.

“It is great to win the LoneStar Conference because it shows that our hard work paid off,” Micah Hermsdorf said.

The men’s team will also likely host their regional tournament, although dates and times of the matches have not been released yet.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
