The HU men's tennis team came within a whisker of defeating St. Thomas for the first time in a decade. The Pipers won three singles matches and came close to winning a second doubles match before falling, 5-4, to the Tommies in Lakeville Sunday night. 

Jake Trondson, Brandon and Blake Kuether all earned singles wins. Trondson and Blake Kuether won in straight sets while Brandon Kuether rallied after dropping a 6-0 first set for a 6-4 win and a 10-6 triumph in the tiebreaker. Trondson and Matt Seracki earned a hard fought win at No. 1 doubles, 8-5. Gabriel Guarin and Nazeer Robinson came close in No. 3 doubles, losing a 9-7 set. 

Hamline is 7-4 overall, 0-3 in MIAC play. They are scheduled to hit the court again on Thursday, April 12 at Northwestern.
