Our men made it through the first weekend of the NCAA tournament with two sweeps:
We beat New Mexico 4-0 on Friday, winning the doubles point and then easy straight set victories at 2, 3 and 5 - with Alex Razeghi clinching it. Henry von der Schulenburg took the day off in singles elevating Nico Godsick and Razeghi one spot and inserting Hudson Rivera in the #6 slot.
We followed that win up with another straightforward afternoon as we raced past Pepperdine 4-0 today (Saturday). We started with a couple 6-3 victories in doubles for the early lead and then with our normal lineup back in place, it was the back three courts that led the way.
On Court #4, von der Schulenburg had the easiest win, 6-0, 6-3 with Godsick clinching another straight-sets victory 7-5, 6-4 on Court #5. Razeghi dropped the first set 2-6, but then only yielded one more game in the final two sets.
Our top two players - Samir Banerjee and Kyle Kang were locked in third set battles while Max Basing was serving to stay in the second set after winning the first one 6-2 when it was called.
We'll play #13 South Carolina in the Sweet 16 after they had to battle past Florida State 4-3.
