Brady Anderson enjoyed a productive day Saturday and helped the Coe men's tennis team earn an automatic berth in the NCAA Division III national tournament.

The Kohawks topped Luther, 5-1, in the Iowa Conference finals to clinch their spot in the NCAA meet. The Kohawks also defeated Wartburg, 5-0, in the semifinals.

Anderson, a freshman from Linn-Mar, won both of his matches at No. 3 singles in straight sets. He also teamed with Riley Galbraith, a Kennedy grad, to win both of their matches at No. 1 doubles.

The Kohawks will take a 20-6 record into the NCAA tournament. Their opponent and location will be announced Monday.
