The SDSU men’s tennis team has qualified for the Summit League tournament for the first time in school history after a 5-2 win over Oral Roberts April 21 in Kansas City, Mo.

The Jacks (7-13, 2-3) rebounded from a shutout loss to UMKC the day before with a win over ORU to claim the No. 4 seed at the league tournament.

“[The ORU] win feels great for everyone,” head coach Michael Engdahl said. “Dominic Rossetto and Justin Pyle have put in a lot of time on the tennis court … and they certainly earned this trip to the finals.”

The Jackrabbits will meet the top-seeded Kangaroos once more in Kansas City on Friday at 10 a.m., with IPFW and IUPUI playing for the other spot in the finals. The championship is April 28.
