KALAMAZOO (Mich.) -- The Ohio Northern men's tennis team competed at the ITA Central Region Championships at Kalamazoo College on Friday through Sunday.

Mostowy dropped his first match, but reeled off two straight victories in the consolation draw, before falling to No. 8-seed Tim Noack of Washington U (Mo.).

Mostowy and senior Josh Saunders dropped their first doubles match to fall into the consolation bracket.

The duo then won three straight matches to advance to the semifinals, including a 8-5 win over Casey Cempre and Andrew Marzcak of Denison in the quarterfinals.
