WICHITA FALLS, Texas – The Midwestern State Mustangs remain fourth in the NCAA Division II South Central Regional Rankings released Wednesday afternoon by the NCAA Division II Men's Tennis Committee.
The Mustangs have a 16-5 overall record this spring, with a 13-4 Division II record and 9-3 record within the South Central Region.
Cameron (16-1 DII, 16-0 in region) is the top team, with Abilene Christian (6-5 DII, 5-2 in region) second and Incarnate Word (6-3 DII, 5-2 in region) third. After MSU is the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference's Western New Mexico (10-7 DII, 10-6 in region) fifth and the Heartland Conference's St. Mary's (5-4 DII, 5-3 in region) sixth.
The Mustangs are in action at the Lone Star Conference Championships at the Southlake Tennis Center in Southlake on Friday and Saturday.
MSU drew the No. 4 seed of the tournament by tiebreakers and faces top-seeded Cameron on Friday at 1:30 in the semifinals. The winner advances to the championship match on Saturday at noon against the winner of Friday's Abilene Christian vs. Incarnate Word semifinal.
This is the last of three regional rankings before the committee selects the four participants from the region for the 2013 NCAA Division II Tournament next Tuesday.
