The Arizona men's tennis team notched its second consecutive sweep, defeating Oklahoma State 4-0, to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the second time in the past three seasons.
Ari Koslow Special to the Arizona Daily Star Playing in front of another loud and vibrant crowd at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center on Saturday afternoon, the No. 14 Arizona men’s tennis team dominated Oklahoma State in a 4-0 sweep to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the second time in the past three seasons.
“Either way, Ohio State is really good, but I also feel like we’re a legitimate top-10 team,” UA coach Clancy Shields said. “We’re really good on the road, and our guys are really looking forward to this challenge, whatever is coming our way. If Louisville shocks the world and pulls off the upset, we’ll be ready to come back here and do it again next week.”
“I hate losing, and it came down to me in that last match ... it was not a nice feeling,” Strom said. “But now we get to do it again. It’s time to make more out of it this time.” “I think we found some combinations that worked pretty well together,” Shields said. “But also when our team is aggressive and we go after it and we swing away, we’re a really tough team. When we don’t do those things, we get beaten. I think we just have to keep encouraging our team to be aggressive and go for it.
Zink and Becroft defeated Florida's top two singles players during the Cowboys' upset of the Gators on Friday. Smith and Ziverts defeated them in dominant fashion.
