Exciting News: CUI Men’s Tennis Hosts NCAA DII Regional for the First Time Ever! – Join the Action at Concordia University Irvine Athletics!

Excitement Builds for NCAA DII Regional at Concordia University Irvine

Irvine, California – The anticipation is high as the Concordia University Irvine men’s tennis team prepares for a historic moment. For the first time, they will host a NCAA Division II regional. They’ll face Point Loma Nazarene University on Friday, May 9, at 1 p.m. PT, just a short drive from campus at the Racquet Club.

All matches, including three doubles and six singles, will take place simultaneously. Concordia earned the No. 2 seed in the west, while Point Loma holds the No. 3 seed.

This season has been remarkable for Concordia, highlighted by a thrilling 4-3 victory against top-seeded Azusa Pacific University, securing their first PacWest Conference title. This win granted them an automatic spot in the NCAA DII Regional Tournament.

Interestingly, Concordia has bested Point Loma three times this season, with a key win in the PacWest Tournament semifinals last month.

The stakes are high: the winning team will advance to Sanlando Park for the NCAA DII National Tournament later in May. Alongside them, Azusa Pacific University and Hawaii Pacific will also compete for a spot in the 16-team national championship.

As the tournament approaches, fans are buzzing on social media. Many are sharing their excitement, with hashtags like #CUItennis trending in local conversations.

In the broader context, the interest in collegiate tennis has surged, with a recent survey showing increasing attendance at regional and national matches. Athletics not only promote school spirit but also serve as a gateway for students pursuing sports management and athletic programs.
