Ottawa, Kan. – Bulldog tennis stayed perfect in the KCAC and increased their win-streak to seven matches with their 9-0 triumph over Ottawa University on Thursday. McPherson is now 10-4 on the year.
"Today the men truly just played smart tennis," said Coach Stuckey. "I thought that we served and returned very well given the conditions that we helped the match to go in our favor."
