W, 6-3
Concordia-M'head, April 22, 2007

The St. Thomas men's tennis team used two 9-7 wins in doubles play to take Sunday's 6-3 road win over Concordia-Moorhead.

The Tommies (8-8 overall, 4-5 MIAC) have won four consecutive MIAC matches and will secure the sixth and final conference playoff spot if St. Olaf loses to 18-2 Carleton, and Hamline loses to Bethel this week.

Brett Casey won at six singles and third doubles for the Tommies. He joined Pat Napurski to win 9-7 in doubles. Ben Herding and Drew Carlson won 9-7 at first doubles.
