DES MOINES, IOWA- - The men's tennis team struggled to get anything going in the right direction as they were shut out by the Drake Bulldogs today at the Drake Tennis Center in Des Monies, Iowa. The Salukis fall to 9-10 on the season with today's loss and drop to 1-7 in Missouri Valley Conference play.
The Salukis will wrap up regular season play tomorrow in hopes of getting back to the .500 mark on the season as SIU will travel to Creighton for their last match before the Missouri Valley Championships, which are scheduled for next weekend.
All results for tomorrow's match and regular season statistics can be found at www.SIUSalukis.com.
