ROCHELLE, Ill. -- The Western Michigan men's tennis team put itself in position to play for a share of the Mid-American Conference Regular Season Championship after a 5-2 road win against Northern Illinois on Thursday afternoon.

Tim Riedel got WMU on the board with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Chai Bo Suo Nan at No. 5. Chen-Hui Ho then tied it up at 2-2 with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Federico Scotuzzi at No. 4.
