HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - The Northern Kentucky University men's tennis team may have put its Great Lakes Valley Conference playoff hopes in jeopardy on Saturday, falling to Missouri-St. Louis by a 7-2 score.

Michael Volkov and Jon Raley teamed to take their doubles flight, 8-4, over Peter Hantack and Andre Chemas, while Jason Kramer won NKU's lone singles flight with a super-tiebreaker win over Tim Bryant, 6-3, 4-6, (10-7).

Northern Kentucky (5-11, 2-5 GLVC) currently stands in seventh place in the league, tied with Quincy. The Norse hold the tiebreaker against the Hawks by virtue of their 5-0 victory over Quincy on Friday.
The Norse travel to face Indianapolis on Tuesday.
