NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- Competition came to a close for Michigan State at the ITA Midwest Regionals on Saturday, October 20, as the final member of the team was eliminated from the tournament. Sophomore John Carlin was the lone Spartan to advance to the main draw of singles competition.

In doubles, Carlin and sophomore Jack Winkler won their first round doubles match, defeating Tripp Tuff and Luuk Wassenaar of DePaul (8-7). Carlin and Winkler were later eliminated by Michigan's Andrew Fenty and Mattias Siimar in the Round of 32 (8-1).
Winkler earned two victories in the singles qualifying draw, defeating Michigan's Harrison Brown (6-2, 7-6) and Northern Illinois' Shao-Yu Yu (6-3, 6-3) before being eliminated just one round away from the main draw by Marquette's Luis Heredia Gomez (6-4, 6-3).
Senior Colin Harvey was defeated by Brandon Shanklin of Marquette (6-1, 6-0) in the first round of qualifying action.
