Edinboro, Pa. – The Shaw University men's tennis team saw its postseason run come to an end with a 4-0 loss to Fairmont State in the opening round of the 2025 NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional Tournament on Friday afternoon at Edinboro Tennis Courts.

The sixth-seeded Bears faced a strong third-seeded Fairmont State squad that set the tone early by taking the doubles point. The Bears put together a strong fight holding leads in two of the doubles matches.
