THOUSAND OAKS – A lengthy and hard-fought win over Occidental College in the second round of the SCIAC Men's Tennis Championships was the highlight for Chapman University as the Panthers placed sixth in the conference with a 1-2 record over the weekend. Chapman defeated the Tigers 5-4 on Friday night to advance to the fifth-place match where it ran into Redlands.

Cal Lutheran hosted the two-day event between its own Poulson Tennis Center and the Matador Tennis Complex on the campus of Cal State Northridge.

First Round: Cal Lutheran 5, Chapman 0

After the Panthers were swept in doubles by the No. 18-ranked Kingsmen, Cal Lu got quick wins on the Nos. 5 and 6 courts to earn the shutout and advance in the winner's bracket. Only sophomore Brett Buford was leading for Chapman when the match was decided and top singles player junior Justin Thompson was headed for a third set after splitting the first two with the West Region's No. 4-ranked Moises Cardenas from Cal Lu.
