MEMPHIS- Rhodes College men's tennis defeated Centre College 6-3 Saturday. After Oglethorpe's 8-1 win over Millsaps, the Lynx and Stormy Petrels will share the Southern Athletic Association regular season title as both have gone 5-1 in conference play. It marks Rhodes' first ever SAA title, and second since 1970 when Southwestern at Memphis was crowned tournament champions.
Oglethorpe will earn the No. 1 seed in the 2021 SAA Tournament since they defeated the Lynx 6-3 earlier this year in a tight matchup.
