WAVERLY - The Wartburg men's tennis team is set to open its 2020 schedule this weekend, traveling to Illinois for a trio of matches. 

The Knights are slated to face Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, Ill. at 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31 prior to two matches in Naperville, Ill. on Saturday, taking on North Central and Milwaukee School of Engineering. 

Wartburg's Grant Kincaid and Ben Mason led the way in the fall at the American Rivers Conference Individual Championships, advancing to the doubles semifinals with victories over pairs from Loras, Luther, and Simpson. The duo fell versus Buena Vista in the third place match. 

Head coach Chris Gustas is entering his fourth year, coming off a 16-11 season - his most wins on the men's side at the helm. The Knights went 5-3 during A-R-C competition in 2019, finishing fourth in the league.
