Georgetown, Texas – Angleo Ito Tost led the University of the Ozarks men's tennis team at the ITA Southwest Regional and was one win away from earning All-American, losing in the singles final in Georgetown, Texas.

In the semi-finals Ito Tost beat Jordan Pitts from Trinity 6-3, 6-1 (who finished the previous season ranked 29th in NCAA III). Ito Tost advanced to the final of the Singles A draw, but lost to Cameron Kimball from Trinity University 6-4, 6-3. With a win against his fourth Trinity opponent, Ito Tost would have earned All-America status.
