ELLISVILLE, Miss. – The 2025 NJCAA Region 23 Men's Tennis Championships are set for April 24–26 at Jones College, and the No. 3 seed Indians are ready to make their mark in one of the nation's most competitive fields.

Although seeded third, the Indians enter the tournament ranked No. 17 nationally and will rely on their regular season experience and roster depth in pursuit of a deep postseason run.
