Men's tennis: Carlson and Breimhorst selected All-MIAC for singles, doubles

Sports Editor

With an 8-10 record overall, a 3-7 record in the MIAC and a new playoff format, the Pipers had little chance of making the playoffs when the season ended last week. As a team, it was a difficult season for tennis. The men’s team is a primarily veteran group that experienced the transition of a coaching change late in their careers. Although the transition could not have been easier because of the familiarity with Coach Klonecki, it is still an adjustment and competition is stiff in MIAC tennis.

Even though the team didn’t win many matches, the MIAC took notice of the play of seniors Andy Carlson and Jon Breimhorst. The number one doubles team and top two singles players on the team were honored with All-MiAC accolades last Wednesday. The two Pipers were selected for both their play in singles as well as in doubles competition. Carlson was 11-7 overall in number one singles while Breimhorst was 9-9 (5-4 in MIAC play) in number two singles. As doubles partners, they were 6-3 in MIAC competition.

This Breimhorst’s first selection to the All-conference team and Carlson’s second in as many years.
