Morningside opened the men’s tennis season with losses against a pair of teams from the Iowa Athletic Conference with a 5-4 setback against Loras University and a 9-0 loss against Central College on Saturday in Pella, Iowa.
The Mustangs won four of the seven matches that were played in the dual with Loras, but had to forfeit the No. 6 singles flight and the No. 3 doubles flight while playing shorthanded due to an injury to their No. 6 player.
Morningside swept the first three singles flights against Loras with wins from Matt Ford at No. 1, Reid Rosen and No. 2, and Dane Larson at No. 3. Ford had the most lopsided victory with a 6-1, 6-2 triumph against Joe Holguin.
Ford and Rosen combined for an 8-1 victory at No. 1 doubles.
The Mustangs will dual Loras again on Feb. 21 in Storm Lake, Iowa.
