URBANA, Ill. – Elon University junior men’s tennis standout Cameron Silverman saw his stellar 2013 season come to an end on Thursday, May 23, following a 6-2, 6-2, setback to Michigan’s 13th-ranked Evan King in the second round of the NCAA Men’s Tennis Singles Championships.

"I am extremely proud of the fight Cameron showed yesterday and today, and throughout this entire season," said Elon head coach Michael Leonard. Cameron has helped elevate our program nationally throughout the season and he has so much to be proud of. We look forward to seeing Cameron and Stefan later today in doubles."
 
Silverman, ranked 67th nationally, ends his singles campaign with a 15-9 record. Silverman will team up with Stefan Fortmann at 2:30 p.m. today in doubles to take on Texas A&M’s Junior Ore and Jackson Winthrow.

After falling behind 1-0 in the second set, Silverman stormed back to take a 2-1 lead after breaking. But King rallied back, taking the next five points to win the set and the match, 6-2.
