Central men’s tennis players Ayden Fletcher and Jack Briggs were named to the American Rivers All-Conference team for the 2025 season.

There were 12 players selected for singles and doubles with significant overlap between the lists. Fletcher earned all-conference honors for both singles and doubles while Briggs was named for just singles. It was Fletcher’s second consecutive selection to an all-conference team after he was noted for singles in 2024. In his singles matches in the #1 spot in the lineup, he went 3-5 including a 7-5, 6-1 win against Coe College’s #1 Bryton Short. In doubles matches he paired up with AJ Wilkins and went 4-4 in conference matches, including winning against Wartburg College’s #1 doubles team and taking A-R-C champion Luther College’s top duo to a tiebreak before losing. Playing in the #2 singles spot, Briggs earned an all-conference selection in his first collegiate season after going 5-2 in conference matches, including beating Wartburg’s #2 Cade Davis 6-3, 6-1.

The Dutch finished their season 12-14 overall and 6-2 in the conference, and advanced to the A-R-C semifinals before losing to second seeded Coe 4-0.
