RIVER FOREST, ILL.  – In a tight Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) matchup, the Concordia Cougars battled with the Edgewood Eagles, falling 5-4.
 
DOUBLES
Starting the day off on a high note, the Cougars battled during their doubles matches. Every doubles pair managed to score as Kevin Bullens (River Forest, Ill.) and Reynaldo Leal (Weslaco, Texas)were the only duo to pick up a point winning their match 8-4.

SINGLES
Finishing first in the singles match, Leal fell in two sets 6-1 and 6-2. Right after, Diego Loveshe (Franklin Park, Ill.)fell in his own set despite securing a handful of points in each set.
