CAP'URES Seawolves lose in both rounds of -4i MCTC- their first ever D-II play-off, to finish -TITLES outstanding 2 7-14 season BY DAVE CHOW Statesman Editor I .1 (Flushing May 4-5) The Seawolves Men's and Women's Tennisl teams played at the Metropolitan Collegiate Tennis Championships at the National Tennis Center in Flushing and came away with two suprising pairs of victories. Both teams each captured a single and doubles title enroute for a resoundingly succesful finish to the first ever USB season in Divison H. The Men's team finished with a season 7-6 record. The Women's Team toiled through a somewhat less succesful season completing most their schedule in the fall for a sub .500 record. For them, the MCTC victories automatically places a positive stamp on what was a dismal Division II debut. For the men, the victories meant redemption for a proud group of players who are often noted more for their potential, than for actual consistent production. Despite the struggle to finish just above .500, the Seawolves can nevertheless take it as a moral victory (though they would never admit it), for ^ then added three in the seventh to cut the to beat good teams that way."
