The Auburn Montgomery men’s tennis team won its ninth consecutive Southern States Athletic Conference Tournament championship on Monday with a 5-1 victory over No. 14 Belhaven.

With the win, the Warhawks (18-3) earned the SSAC's automatic bid to the NAIA National Championship. AUM, which owns nine NAIA National Championships, will be making its 21st all-time appearance and ninth consecutive in the national tournament.

In the championship match, the Warhawks collected a pair of points during the doubles portion, winning at the No. 1 and No. 3 positions.

Despite dropping the first game, the tandem of Nicolas Pinones-Haltenhoff and Miguel Grifol responded by winning eight consecutive games to clinch an 8-1 win over Daniel Prado and Enrico Patriarca at the third spot. Tim Hewitt and Bence Toth rolled at the No. 1 position, winning their first seven games, before settling for a similar 8-1 victory over Nikita Lisov and Andres Yepez.

For the second consecutive week and fourth time overall, Auburn Montgomery sophomore Cassie Daniels was named the Southern States Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week after a pair of dominant performances against ranked opponents.

On Saturday, Daniels tossed her first career no-hitter against ninth-ranked Belhaven, leading AUM to a 2-0 victory. She struck out nine batters in her fifth complete game shutout of the season.

Daniels continued her impressive weekend the following afternoon versus 14th-ranked William Carey, limiting the Crusaders to one run in another complete game effort. She surrendered seven hits while striking out seven. The victory moved her to 17-1 this season, setting a new AUM single-season record for wins.
