DAYTON TENNIS HAS BUSY WEEKEND

Flyers Host “Meet UD Day” At Five Seasons In Between Two Men’s Matches


The University of Dayton men's tennis team had a full weekend last week. Dayton fell 4-1 at Toledo on Friday, joined with the Flyer women's program to host its annual "Meet UD Day" at the Five Seasons Indoor facility on Saturday, and then was nipped by Eastern Illinois 4-3 at home on Sunday.

Approximately 30 children attended the "Meet UD" event, and participated in a mini-clinic on Saturday. Five Seasons is the indoor home for Flyer tennis, and it's both programs' way to say "thank-you" for the hospitality extended to them during the indoor season.

"We really appreciate how welcome we are made to feel at Five Seasons," UD coach Ryan Meyer said. "It's hard to say who had the most fun on Saturday – the kids or our team."

On Friday Toledo bested Dayton 4-1. UD's lone point came in No. 4 singles when Josh Malyon defeated Roberto Meza 6-2, 6-5. In No. 1 doubles, Aidan Koross and Bernardo Sanson won 6-2, but Toledo took the other two doubles matches and captured the double point.
