PHILADELPHIA, Penn. — Wagner men's tennis participated in the ITA Regionals from Thursday Oct. 15 to Saturday, Oct 17, and played in several close matches throughout the tournament.

Junior Eddie Schmidt and sophomore Nicola Bottelberghs each entered the tournament in the qualifying singles bracket. Neither player won their match, but Bottelberghs forced set one of his match to a tiebreaker game, while Schmidt won his first set 7-5, and forced an extra game in set two. 

Redshirt sophomore Lukas Escher entered the main singles bracket automatically, but lost his match in straight sets.

The Seahawks fared a tad better in the doubles bracket, as Bottelberghs and Schmidt defeated NJIT's pair of Maxime Hankins and Francisco Guimaraes in the first round 8-5, before they were eliminated in the next round.

Wagner will return to the courts when it travels to Bronxville, NY to take on Iona on Friday, Nov. 6. The match will be played at the Meyer Athletic Complex and will start at 2:30.
