GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- The Wayne State University men's tennis team turned in a strong performance at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Midwest Regional Championships, hosted by Davenport from Saturday through Monday, Oct. 17-19.

The Warriors captured the flight B doubles championship as Benjamin Hill (Duren, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany / Burgau-Gymnasium) and Harry Forsyth (Wamberal, New South Wales, Australia / The McDonald College [Mississippi College]) finished with a perfect 5-0 record.  George Day (Southampton, United Kingdom / Peter Symonds College) also advanced to the flight A singles final after winning five consecutive matches. 

Day qualified for the 2026 ITA Division II Singles & Doubles Championships based on his finish in the flight A singles draw at the ITA Midwest Regional.  After winning five consecutive matches, he advanced to the final before falling to Ferris State's Kevin Kovacs (6-3, 6-3).  The national championships are scheduled for Nov. 4-8 at the Tuscaloosa Tennis Center in Tuscaloosa, Ala. 

Along with Hill, Forsyth and Day, six other Warriors represented Wayne State at the three-day event:  Sam Knowles (North Shields, Tyne and Wear, England), Thomas Mathys (Grimisuat, Switzerland), Warren Gunnar (Ypsilanti, Mich.), Valentin Moraisin (Chatou, Yvelines, France), Cole Anderson (Novi, Mich.) and Matthew Morrow (Rochester Hills, Mich.).  All nine Warriors competed in singles, while eight also participated in doubles action. 

QUOTING HEAD COACH BRYAN MORROW
"Overall, I am really proud of the guys and it was an exciting tournament for us.  George is on his way to Alabama as he qualified for Nationals after a loss in the Flight A Singles Final.  We are super proud of him.  He competed great all weekend long and I am really proud of his growth and leadership.  Benny and Harry won the B Draw Doubles and looked very good during competition.  I am looking forward to getting back to work and am excited for the year to come."
