ST. LOUIS, Mo.-  The Greyhound tennis teams each lost in their Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship opening-round matches, falling to Bellarmine on both sides.  The UIndy men dropped a  5-2 decision to the Knights before the UIndy women fell in a 5-4 heartbreaker later in the afternoon Friday at Dwight Davis Tennis Center.

JD Greenlee and Matt Smith outlasted the Bellarmine team of Nathan Matthews and Nicolas Janssen-Bernard at No. 1 doubles, earning a slim 9-8 victory.  UIndy trailed 2-1 after doubles play, but BU won at each of the bottom three positions in singles play to garner the win.  Kyle Prow was victorious for the Hounds, rallying from a 7-5 defeat in the first set to post consecutive 6-4 wins in the next two sets for the win at No. 3.  Greenlee was locked in a battle at the top spot, trading identical 6-3 scores with Janssen-Bernard to force a deciding third set.  That set never finished, however, after BU scored its fifth team point.

On the women's side, the Hounds (10-11) were in a similar situation after doubles play, getting a lone point from Kelsey Hartman and Ceciley Starkey (8-4) at No. 3.  But, UIndy was the victor at the bottom three positions this time.  With the score tied at 4-apiece, Alena Perez-Majul forced a third set at No. 3, but fell in the third set and the Knights escaped with the win.  Maggie Ashby, Meghan Teunis and Aly Neidlinger all won their respective singles matches at No. 4-6.

The UIndy men (13-11) will now await word for NCAA tournament selection as the team currently sits eighth in the regional rankings.  The NCAA Regionals begin May 7 at the top-ranked team.
