St. Ambrose University honored its eight tennis seniors during a rain-delayed final home dual against Augustana. Despite pre-match festivities, rain interrupted play as singles action commenced. The Bees fell short in doubles matches for both men's and women's teams, with only one men's victory before the halt. The men鈥檚 side saw all matches closely contested, while the women faced tough losses across the board. The matches were abruptly called off with several singles contests still in progress.

By the Numbers
  • Men's doubles: 3 matches lost, 1 won (Sampaio/Khiyara 7-5).
  • Women's doubles: 3 matches lost with scores of 7-6, 6-3, and 6-4.
Yes, But

While the weather disrupted the match, both teams demonstrated competitive spirit, with several players leading in their singles matches before play was halted.

State of Play
  • The match was called off during the second set of singles play due to rain.
  • SAU men's doubles struggled, but the only win came from the No. 2 team.
What's Next

SAU will move on to face nationally-ranked Holy Cross in their next conference dual matches this Saturday, looking to bounce back from the rain-affected outing.

Bottom Line

Thursday's rain-out underscores the unpredictability of spring sports schedules, but the Bees have the opportunity to regain momentum in upcoming matches.
