Western Michigan Broncos
The Western Michigan men's tennis duo of Oscar Corwin and Jack Davison are set to compete in the doubles bracket of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Conference Masters Tournament, beginning on Thursday in Rome, Ga.

Corwin and Davison will take on Jordi Domenech and William Dean from UNC Wilmington at 2 p.m. The winner will take on the winners of the match between Andrii Borodatiuk/Iliyas Maratuly from South Carolina State and Aleksi Lofman/William Kleege from San Diego State on Friday. 

To get there, Corwin and Davison won the Mid-American Conference Indoor Qualifying Event Doubles A Bracket two weeks ago at Ball State. Corwin and Davison opened the weekend with an 8-5 win over Ball State's Andrei Caragea and Andrew Hayward. In the quarterfinals they downed Maddox Lundel and Pvan Uppu from Omaha, 8-5. In Saturday's semifinal match, they earned an 8-2 win over Drake's Adam Taruino and Ulysse Verrando. The final saw them pick up a 6-2, 6-0 win over Buffalo's Connor Thomas Diog and Minjae Kim.

UIC Flames
UIC men's tennis junior Nikola Puntaric has qualified to represent the Flames at the ITA Conference Masters Championships at the Rome Tennis Center in Rome, Georgia.

Puntaric punched his ticket following an impressive run at the 2026 MAC Indoor Championships hosted by Ball State University from October 23–25. Competing in the top singles draw, where players battled directly for an automatic bid to the national stage, Puntaric advanced to the championship match to secure his place in the postseason.

His path to the finals included a convincing 6-4, 6-2 quarterfinal victory over Western Michigan's Chen Hui Ho, followed by a semifinal walkover past No. 3 seed Andrei Caragea of Ball State.
