DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The nine-time defending Sun Conference regular season champion and No. 2 Embry-Riddle men's tennis team will look to earn its fifth consecutive Sun Conference tournament crown as it begins postseason play next weekend. The Eagles will host the 2013 edition of the tournament at the Crotty Tennis Complex, Apr. 19-21.
This year, the tournament field was expanded from four to six teams and for the fifth straight year, the Eagles will be the No. 1 seed. ERAU, currently 18-2 on the year, went undefeated at 7-0 in league play and extended its unbeaten streak in conference play to 50-0 over a nine-year stretch.
As the No. 1 seed, the Eagles will receive a bye in Friday's quarterfinal round and will take on the winner of the match between fourth-seeded Webber International and No. 5 St. Thomas at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
The tournament champion will receive an automatic bid to the NAIA National Championship in Mobile, Ala., May 14-18.
