DENVER -- The Denver men's (16-8, 6-0) and women's (13-8, 7-0) tennis teams will compete in the Summit League Championship tournament at the Dr. Rudy and Rhonda Kachmann Tennis Center on the IPFW campus in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Both teams claimed the regular season title and the No. 1 seed. The tournament will begin Friday with the winner of the No. 4 and 5 seed matchup advancing to take on the top-seeded Pioneers on Saturday.

Both teams are looking to defend their titles from last season.

The men finished the season winning seven of their last eight matches and enter the tournament ranked No. 51 by the ITA. Four Pioneers went unbeaten against league foes (min. four decisions) in singles play -- junior Henry Craig (5-0), freshman Wyatt Lovera (5-0), sophomores Yannik James (5-0) and Diogo Rocha (4-0).

Rocha enters the tournament ranked No. 109 and Craig comes in at No. 113 in the ITA singles rankings. Craig and sophomore Alex Gasson check in at No. 40 in the ITA doubles rankings.

The women claimed six out of their last seven and tallied and impressive score of 45-4 in Summit League play this season. The Pioneers also went 20-0 in League doubles matches this season.

Denver is looking to be the first women's team to repeat as champions since 2011.
