Sophomore Andre Glass received top honors as the Lakeland College men's tennis team closed out its season with a sixth-place finish at the Northern Athletics Conference tournament on April 26-27, in Jackson, Wis. Glass won the No. 1 singles title and was dubbed the NAC Player of the Year.

Glass, last year's NAC Rookie of the Year, was a perfect 7-0 at No. 1 singles in NAC regular season duals. As the No. 1 seed in the tournament, he snagged the win in the title match over Steven Anschutz of Concordia University, Wis., 6-3, 6-3. He also fought for a tough victory in the semifinals that went into an extra set, 5-7, 6-2, 6-2, against No. 4 Marian College's Tyler Leinweber and defeated No. 8 Rockford College's David Burritt, 6-0, 6-1 in the quarterfinals.

Glass also paired with junior Alex Marit in No. 1 doubles to finish in sixth place. Marit also competed at No. 2 singles as the No. 6 seed, finishing in fifth place. After falling in the first round, 6-0, 6-0 to No. 3 seeded Max Ohland of Milwaukee School of Engineering, Marit battled back to win his next two matches, 8-4 over No. 7 Dominican University's Emmanuel Rabaya and 8-4 over No. 5 Rockford's Ryan Henricks.

Junior Carlos Millan and freshmen Tom Kuehl and Jordan Ames also competed in the tournament.
