At approximately the mid-season, the Iowa Conference Men's Tennis race is beginning to heat up and take shape. The IIAC has round-robin play so each school will end up with eight conference matches, and the top six teams will be selected to play in the Team Championship which will be held at the Hawkeye Tennis Complex in Iowa City, Iowa on May 6th and 7th.

Three schools remain undefeated in Conference play including heavily favored Luther College. The Norse do play both Cornell and Coe this weekend in match ups involving three of the current top four teams. Both Luther(#36) and Coe(#50) hold national rankings.
