Titans to face Saint Vincent in PAC Championship Tournament quarterfinals

TRAFFORD, Pa.--The Westminster College men's tennis team will travel to Saint Vincent College for a Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Championship Tournament quarterfinal match Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday's match is scheduled to get underway at 4 p.m., with the winner advancing to the semifinals Thursday to face No. 2 Grove City College.

This year's PAC Championship Tournament features a six-team championship bracket format. Allegheny College (14-4, 8-0 PAC) secured the No. 1 seed. Grove City (12-5, 7-1 PAC), the second seed, won the PAC title in 2022. Both Allegheny and Grove City earned quarterfinal byes.

Westminster, the No. 6 seed, finished its regular season 4-9 overall and 3-5 in league play. Saint Vincent, the tournament's No. 3 seed, went 9-6 overall and 6-2 in the conference during the regular season.

The Bearcats claimed a 6-2 victory over the Titans on April 17 at the Greensburg Racquet Club. The No. 6 singles match between freshman Ryan Crissman (Allison Park, Pa. | Shaler) and Kyle Murray did not finish due to time restraints on the courts. Crissman was leading the match 6-4, 5-4.

Last year, Westminster entered the tournament as the No. 4 seed and advanced to the semifinal round after securing a 7-2 win over No. 5 Geneva College.

The winner of the PAC Championship Tournament will receive the conference's automatic-qualifying bid to the NCAA Division III Championship. Team selections for the Division III Championships will be announced on Monday, May 8 with first-, second- and third-round matches slated for Friday-Sunday, May 12-14.
