TACOMA, Wash. - The Pacific Lutheran University men's tennis team will welcome the Community College of Spokane to Sprinker Recreation Center this weekend for a non-conference matchup.
 
The Lutes are coming off a dominant 8-1 win against the University of Puget Sound. The team swept the Loggers in singles matchups and came away with victories at both No.1 and No.2 doubles.

Playing at No.1 singles last weekend was Olympia native, Ryan Adams. Adams competed in the 2016-2017 season for the Lutes and earned Second Team All-NWC honors. He makes his return to the team this season. We talked with Adams about his role on the team as well as this weekend's match.
 
"My role is a motivator/leader, helping guys with their strokes and motivating them when down. Last weekend was successful because we all played without nerves... we've been practicing that. A successful performance looks like practice. Because if you practice like the real deal then you are doing really well in controlling yourself"
 
Adams and the 2-0 Lutes will look to build off of their hot start to the season with action beginning at 12:30 pm on Saturday.
