ELMHURST, Ill. - The Elmhurst University men's tennis team dropped their third-straight match, 0-9, to Illinois Wesleyan on Thursday afternoon in a College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) matchup.

Elmhurst (3-5, 0-3 CCIW) won just one set in doubles play, with Ben Cavka and Muhammad Salman falling 8-1. In singles play, Cavka dropped a hard-fought match to Ian Turnbull of IWU 6-1, 6-2, while Russell Reyes bounced back from a first set sweep to only fall in the second set by a score of 6-3. The Titans also won No. 6 singles by default due to low numbers on the EU roster.
