Kansas Wesleyan Men's Tennis faced a stiff test in Friday's Kansas Conference semifinal against the No. 1 seeded McPherson Bulldogs inside Genesis Health Club.
 
The Coyotes would battle to the end, but fell in a 4-1 decision to McPherson.
 
The matches were again played inside due to inclement weather outside, mainly the very gusty winds in the Salina area.
 
McPherson captured the doubles point winning at No. 2 as Daniel Marcano and Oscar Brouwer beat Alex Sherer and Raul Davalos-Gavino 6-1; and at No. 3 as Celien Botlan and Arthur Nardy beat Adam Hanson and Luke Craft 6-4. Bryce Ware and Jacob Phelps were trailing Michael Beltran and Martin Millos 6-5 when doubles were called.
 
The Coyotes picked up their lone point of the match as Ware knocked off Beltran 7-5, 6-3.
 
Sherer lost to Marcus Nardy 6-1, 6-1; Davalos-Gavino lost to Arthur Nardy 5-7, 6-2, 6-2; and Adam Hanson lost to Millos 6-0, 6-2.
 
Luke Craft was down a set to Botlan but was up 3-1 when the match was called. Phelps was down a set and trailed 2-0 to Marcano.
 
Wesleyan finishes its season at 13-8 overall.
