For the first time in the modern era, a University of Toledo men’s tennis player will be part of the NCAA Division I championship as an individual. The accomplishment is an appropriate career capstone for Pawit Sornlaksup, perhaps the most decorated player in UT history. The Thailand native is the second Rocket to be named Mid-American Conference player of the year three consecutive seasons. He was also named the MAC tournament MVP the past two years, leading UT to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances. “It’s a great ending,” Toledo coach Al Wermer said. “I think it’s a storybook ending, no matter how well he does in Stillwater.” The schedule was set up for Sornlaksup to improve his individual rating, with an increased strength of schedule and opportunities to win matches. And he took full advantage, going 2-2 against NCAA competitors. Sornlaksup led another 7-6, 5-1 in an unfinished match.

Anthony Wayne softball records 3rd straight tournament shutout
BOWLING GREEN — Stingy pitching and one big inning of offense were the main ingredients for Anthony Wayne on Friday night, as the third-ranked Generals captured their fourth straight Division I district softball title with a 7-0 victory over Mansfield Madison at Bowling Green State University's Meserve Field. Anthony Wayne (25-1), which had clinched a Northern Lakes League Buckeye Division championship with a resounding 15-5 win at Perrysburg on Monday, made it 3-for-3 with tournament shutouts so far by blanking the Rams (20-6) from the Ohio Cardinal Conference. Senior right-hander Kat Meyers, who will pitch next year for the University of Michigan, followed her seven-inning, 18-strikeout perfect game from the Generals 4-0 district semifinal win over Start on Tuesday with five innings of two-hit shutout pitching versus Madison. “I felt pretty good today in warm-ups,” Meyers said. “The field was a little wet, but that's all right. You've just kind of got to work with it and dig it out a little bit. “Our defense was great. I always have my full confidence in them. I had the same mindset as I did on Tuesday — one batter at a time.”
