CAYCE, South Carolina – The 2015 MEAC Men's Tennis Championship Final between No.1 seed South Carolina State (15-4) and No. 2 seed Bethune-Cookman (15-12) was suspended due to inclement weather in the area.

"It was unfortunate that we didn't get a chance to play the finals today," said SC State head coach Hardeep Judge. "But our domination during the regular season allowed us a chance to compete in our 11th NCAA Championship."

South Carolina State captured the regular season crown with a 5-0 mark in the MEAC, including defeating Bethune-Cookman 7-0 during the regular season.

Despite the tournament suspension, SC State will receive the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Men's Championship by virtue of winning the regular season championship.

The Bulldogs defeated Coppin State (4-0) and FAMU (4-0) to reach the finals for the 11th straight year. Head coach Hardeep Judge guided SC State to the best record in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and earned Coach of the Year honors this season, his fifth in his 14-year career.

The NCAA selection show will air Tuesday, April 28, at 5:30 p.m. on NCAA.com. The South Carolina State Men's Tennis Send-Off will be announced after the selection show.
