The Texas A&M Tennis teams both advance to the SEC semifinals

The Aggie Tennis programs see both Men’s and Women’s teams advance to the SEC tournament semifinals.

The Aggie tennis program as a whole is seeing success late this season. The No. 21 Texas A&M Men’s Tennis team is currently on a four-game winning streak recently upsetting the No. 6 South Carolina Gamecocks. The No. 2 Texas A&M Women’s Tennis team is coming off their second SEC regular-season title in a row and is the favorite to take the SEC tournament title.

The Men’s team got a little revenge against the Gamecocks in their 4-2 victory in their Quarterfinals matchup after losing to them 1-4 a few weeks ago. The Women’s team went into the tournament with a bye which can sometimes hurt a team because they have not been able to get into a groove of playing on the new surface. However, it would not be an issue as they beat Vanderbilt to advance in the tournament.

Ohio State men’s tennis team beats another top ten opponent

The Ohio State men’s tennis team continued its run of defeating top ten opponents, taking down No. 7 Texas A&M Tuesday.

The Ohio State men’s tennis team is having quite the run of success — knocking off top-ten opponents at a frenetic pace. First, it took down No. 1 Texas, then disposed of a new No. 1 USC, and now it has beaten back a No. 7 ranked Texas A&M squad.

As it seems to always do, things started off on the right foot when the Buckeyes won the doubles point to go up 1-0. Cannon Kingsley and Kyle Seelig got things cooking with a 6-4 victory over Texas A&M’s Pierce Rollins and Stefan Storch. Then, in an exciting come-from-behind affair, John McNally and Robert Cash rebounded from a 1-3 deficit and came all the way back for a 6-4 victory over Carlos Aguilar and Barnaby Smith.

In singles, Ohio State’s Kyle Seelig defeated Aggie Noah Schachter  6-2, 6-2 to put OSU up 2-0. Justin Boulais fell to No. 1 ranked Valetin Vacherot 6-2, 6-3 to get TAMU on the board and close to 2-1, but then both John McNally and James Trotter both won their matches (6-3, 6-4 and 6-4, 6-4) to clinch the match 4-1 for the good guys.

With the win, Ohio State improves to 9-0 and will head into the ITA Indoor Championships this Friday as a favorite to defend its indoor title. It’ll likely be ranked No. 1 when the new rankings come out.
