Men’s Tennis Team Travels to Army for Conference Tournament

The Navy men’s tennis team is gearing up for the Patriot League Tournament this weekend in West Point, N.Y. The second-seeded Mids will face off against No. 7 Loyola in the quarterfinal round on Friday at 3:15 p.m.

Navy comes into the tournament with momentum after a 4-1 victory over Army in the annual Star Match last weekend. Players like J.J. Etterbeek, Aniketh Ayinala, and team captain Sasha Panyan delivered strong performances to secure the win.

The Mids have a rich history in the Patriot League Tournament, having won the last five titles and 11 out of the last 16 seasons. They have dominated the competition, reaching the final in 15 of the last 16 years.

In their previous encounter with Loyola, Navy emerged victorious with a 6-1 win. The Mids swept all three doubles matches and secured five straight-set singles victories.

Looking ahead, the winner of the Navy vs. Loyola match will face the winner of the Bucknell vs. Colgate match in the semifinals. Bucknell, who suffered a loss to Navy earlier in the season, will be a tough opponent for the Mids.

With a strong lineup and a history of success in the tournament, Navy is poised to make a deep run in the Patriot League Tournament. Fans can follow the action with free live results and video streaming on NavySports.com. Stay tuned for more updates as the tournament unfolds.
