Hi UT Tennis Fan,
Thank you to everyone who came out to support our players on Thursday night as we took on #1 ranked UVA. On a beautiful night in front of close to 1,000 fans we came up just short in a 4-3 loss that came down to the final match. We won convincingly at #1 doubles, but dropped two close matches at #'s 2 and 3 doubles, which allowed UVA to take a 1-0 lead heading into singles. That point ended up being decisive as we split the singles 3-3. Although we definitely did not play our best throughout the lineup, our guys fought hard as usual, and there will be a lot to learn and gain from it. For a full recap, please click on this press release.
Looking ahead, we will host big home matches in each of the next 3 weekends. On Saturday, January 27 at 12:00 pm we will take on UTSA in the first round of the ITA Kick-Off. On Sunday we will play either Utah or Oklahoma State at 1 pm. We will have to win both matches next weekend in order to qualify for the National Team Indoors in New York in mid February. Our Kick-Off matches are scheduled to be outdoors at the Texas Tennis Center, but will be moved inside in the event of bad weather. Then on Sunday, February 4, at 2:30 pm we have another huge home match, vs Stanford. We will follow that up the following Saturday with a 1 pm showdown vs Florida. Please mark your calendars now! We will see you back at the courts this coming weekend!
Hook'em!
Sincerely,
Bruce Berque
