Men's Tennis Creeps Closer Towards Top 10 in Coaches' Poll

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For the sixth straight poll the Belhaven men's tennis teams made an appearance on the NAIA Top 25 Coaches' poll as released by the national office on Tuesday afternoon. The Belhaven women finished their 2013 season in the receiving votes category.
 
The Belhaven men have had a busy few weeks since the last coaches' poll. Belhaven defeated Lee University in the first round of the SSAC tournament 5-0 before defeating then-No. 7 William Carey 5-3 in the tournament semifinals later that day. In the conference title match, No. 2 Auburn-Montgomery proved too tough for the Blazers in a 5-1 to claim their eighth straight SSAC men's tennis championship.
 
Auburn-Montgomery remained at No. 2 after winning the SSAC tournament once again. Belhaven was the second best team in the SSAC, moving up three spots to a season-high 11th ranking in the NAIA. William Carey slid seven spots to 14th following their semifinal defeat. Coastal Georgia and Mobile are currently in the receiving votes category.
 
On the women's side, Belhaven fell out of the top 25 two weeks ago after a series of tough losses. The Blazers were bumped from the SSAC tournament by William Carey, who later lost to eventual SSAC champion Auburn-Montgomery.
