The Westcliff men's tennis team once again rose to the occasion and took the 2024 GSAC Men's Tennis Tournament title.  The Warriors (13-8, GSAC 6-0) came into the conference tournament as the only undefeated member and finished the season winning seven of their last 10 matches.  On the championship day, the Warriors followed a similar pattern to their semifinal match as their doubles two and three won their respective matches with identical scores of 6-0.

Veyhle/Mueller and Kupfert/Melgar were able to get the important doubles point as the Warriors' No. 1 pair struggled.

"We had a team meeting and discussed getting better in doubles and kind of rearranged our practice to focus more on our doubles," Duncan said of the importance of the doubles point.

With the advantage in the score, Westcliff started to overpower and outwork their opponent as they tallied up the wins needed to be crowned GSAC Tennis Champions.
 
The final score was 4-0 Warriors.
 
Singles No. 1 Veyhle was unstoppable from the baseline and his low backhands were clicking from the beginning. Veyhle won his match 6-1, 6-1.

Singles No. 3 Borna Devald who has been dealing with a groin injury was able to fight through the discomfort and showed his strong spirit on the court winning 6-2, 6-0.

Angel Melgar took care of his opponent winning 6-2, 6-0 as the singles No. 5.

After an hour and fifty-one minutes since the first serve, the Westcliff Warriors secured their second title of the day. The men and women players huddled together in celebration of this momentous occasion. The Warriors made it look easy, but their success is the result of hard work put in since last year. As they bask in the glory of earning the 2024 GSAC Men's Tennis title, the team also knows that there is a lot left to do at the national level.

The men's team ranked No. 5 in the NAIA will start their preparations for the NAIA Men's Tennis National Championships held in Mobile, Alabama from May 14-18.
