LAWTON – Cameron will be making their fourth straight trip to the NCAA National Championship this Wednesday but will have the daunting task of being seeded against No. 1 Saint Leo in Denver, Colo.

The Aggies made it to the Elite-8 last season for the first time beating Mercyhurst 5-0 in their fifth overall appearance in the National Championships.  Overall this is the 21st NCAA postseason trip for CU which is tied for fifth most in NCAA Division II men's tennis, and they are 12-20 in the postseason.
