ROCK HILL, SC – Presbyterian College, which went undefeated in conference play, received the No. 1 seed in next week’s Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Men’s Tennis Tournament, where they will attempt to win their third consecutive tournament championship.

Tusculum College, Carson-Newman College and Catawba College all finished the regular season tied for second in the conference standings with 4-2 records. The Pioneers of Tusculum earned the second seed by virtue of a tiebreaker procedure, having won 10 matches in their contests with Carson-Newman and Catawba. Carson-Newman then earned the third seed by virtue of its 6-3 regular-season win over Catawba. The Indians are the fourth seed.
