Sophomore Andy Steiner and senior John Carmichael will pair up for the #2 doubles team; they will also compete in the #3 and #4 singles spots respectively. Senior Troy Mezera will help the Thunder from the #5 singles spot, and junior Chris Baut will play in the #6 singles position. Mezera and senior Matt Taylor will team up for the #3 doubles team. 

            So far in indoor competition, Whitton earned a victory over the #1 singles player from Grand Rapids Community College, Chris Baut defeated his opponent from Albion College, and Whitton and Hoelscher defeated the #1 doubles team from Albion as well.

The Thunder hope to continue competing well on the spring break trip to Florida and as they return home to begin area competition.  Tri-State will have to defeat Spring Arbor and Aquinas to become the top team in the WHAC. 

The Thunder will also compete against teams such as Adrian College (MI), Defiance College (OH), Huntington College (IN), Indiana Wesleyan, Kalamazoo Valley Community College (MI), IPFW (IN), and Taylor University (IN).
