DENVER, Colo. (April 8, 2021) – In today's 5-2 loss to Metropolitan State University–Denver, the NAU Lumberjacks clinched the doubles point and earned one singles court victory against the Roadrunners.

Wrapping up doubles, Chris Steele and Eban Straker-Meads on No. 2 defeated Jeanloup Auzias and Jack McDermott 6-2.
