Last Saturday, the Ferris wrapped up the Bulldog Invitational in dominating fashion. The Bulldogs squared off with Hillsdale College, Michigan Tech University and Lake Superior State University and finished the tournament as big winners.
In a round-robin format, the Bulldogs played each team once in eight singles flights and four doubles flights. In some cases, Ferris State players had to play against one another as some Bulldog players filled spots for missing players on competitor’s teams.
The invitational was the last tournament that the Bulldogs will be playing until February as they wrapped up their fall campaign. In the two-day competition, Ferris State combined for a record of 11-3 in doubles and hadn’t dropped a match in singles through Friday.
When the Bulldogs return for play in February of next year, they will try to build on an impressive 18-7 record from the 2014-2015 season. The Dawgs were an undefeated 9-0 in conference last year, winning the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) outright for the first time since 1994, breaking a 21 year streak set by Northwood University. The Dawgs and Northwood also shared the conference title in 1999.
