Mount Marty University has made the decision to discontinue their men’s and women’s tennis programs at the end of the 2025-26 academic year.
The decision comes after a lengthy evaluation of the university’s long-term strategic priorities.
All members of both programs will have their scholarships honored by Mount Marty University during their time on campus.
Mount Marty’s Jalen Owens and Tyler Vance have been selected as second-team GPAC All-Conference honorees for baseball.
Owens set a new single-season steals record for the Lancers this season, besting his own mark with 47 stolen bases. Owens also drove in 23 RBIs and led the Lancers in triples with 4.
Vance hit .367 on the year, tallying 7 home runs, 25 extra-base hits, and 56 RBIs. Defensively, Vance maintained a .967 fielding percentage.
Three Lancers also earned Honorable Mentions from the GPAC: Daniel Vonnegut, Cooper Milnarik, and Aspen Dahl.
Mount Marty finished the season 21-29 overall, 10-18 in the GPAC, tying for 6th in the season standings.
