SURPRISE, Ariz.--Most streaks are made to be broken, and a couple of big ones came to a halt this afternoon at the Surprise Tennis and Racquet Center.

Concordia worked overtime to claim a 4-3 win over three-time defending champion Azusa Pacific to win their first-ever Pacific West Conference Men's Tennis Championship. With the team score tied at 3-3, the match came down to court three where Adam Large won in three sets to push his team over the top and into celebration.

The Cougars had not only won the last three tournament championships (four overall), they also had won 38 straight matches against PacWest opponents. APU, now 22-4, will wait to hear where they will be positioned in the NCAA tournament. 

Concordia is 19-3 and earns the PacWest's automatic berth into the NCAA postseason. 

Large's clinching win came in front of all his teammates and fans who had gathered on court three with the team scored tied at 3-3. He built a 5-0 lead in the third set before clinching a game later for the 6-2 1-6, 6-1 victory. 

Earlier, CUI had won the doubles point, but the Cougars got the point right back with Elias Emilio Walter's quick work on court one, 6-1, 6-0. APU then went up with a court five win behind Joan Crespo, 6-3, 6-1. 

Oleksandr Kolesynchenko evened it up at 2-2 on court six (6-2, 6-2), and Max Renz gave the Golden Eagles the lead again on court four with a 6-4, 6-2 win, putting CUI in the driver's seat. But APU's Soeren Grandke tied the match, adding to the drama with a court two victory, 6-4, 6-3. 

That left Large's match against Miha Velicki, which with Large's match point wrapped up a team match that took nearly four hours. 

Large was named the Tournament's Outstanding Player, and Cinco was voted by the tournament's coaches as the Sportsmanship winner.
