The preliminaries are out of the way as Armstrong blanked Northwood, 5-0, on Wednesday in first-round action and No. 1 Barry did the same to Northeastern State, 5-0, setting up a 1 vs. 2 matchup in the quarterfinals of the DII Women's Tennis National Championships. Check out junior Barbora Krtickova's comments about the match above from ace interviewer and head coach Simon Earnshaw!
There were few upsets in the first day of action in the Round of 16 on the men's or women's side - the only unusual match was UC San Diego rallying from a 3-0 deficit in men's tennis to upend Southern Indiana, 5-3. Congratulations to fellow Peach Belt school Lander for knocking off Cameron and advancing to the quarterfinals in the men's draw. The anticipated Abilene Christian/Columbus State women's match went all the way of the Wildcats as ACU swept the doubles en route to a 5-0 win, eliminating the Cougars.
Both of the Pirates' matches tomorrow - the showdown with Barry and the men's match against Midwestern State - will again be on NCAA.com's live video. There has also been a start time change - the men's match will begin at 9 a.m. local time and the women's match will begin at 1:00 p.m.
