Three members of Grace College’s men’s tennis team were recognized by the Crossroads League at the end of the fall season.

Max RozasFabricio Galvan and Pavle Popovic all earned a spot on the All-Crossroads League Team for the Lancers. Only Indiana Wesleyan (5) had more All-CL honorees than Grace.

The Lancers finished the fall with a 9-4 record. Grace went 7-2 in the Crossroads League to finish third, and the Lancers reached the semifinals of the CL Tournament under head coach Andy Lewis.

Rozas, Grace’s ace for the past two years, posted a combined record of 24-2 this season. He was flawless in singles’ play with a 13-0 record at No. 1 singles, and he went 11-2 at No. 2 doubles.

Rozas’s other big accomplishment was winning the ITA Regional Championship, never dropping a set throughout the 64-person tournament. He plays this week at the national ITA Cup in Rome, Ga.

His doubles’ partner Fabricio Galvan went 11-0 in doubles. He went 6-5 in singles’ play, amassing an overall record of 17-5.

Popovic was steady at singles and doubles with an overall record of 17-8. He went 9-4 while playing primarily at No. 1 doubles and also went 8-4 at No. 2 and No. 3 singles.
