FARMERS BRANCH, Texas - Baylor University's Benjamin Becker defeated Tulane's Michael Kogan on Friday afternoon in the second round of the Omni Hotels National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships at Brookhaven Country Club.
Kogan, the number two seed in the tournament, was upset 6-3, 7-6.
"The guy hit the ball real, real well," Tulane head coach Robert Klein said. "Michael played well. It was just one of those matches where you have to play your best. This guy just didn't miss, he hit some great shots and Michael played a good match."
The Omni Hotels National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships, administered by the ITA, feature a 32-player singles field and 16-team doubles field for men and women, including: qualifiers from Omni Hotels Regional Championships held across the country during the fall, the ITA National Small College champions, the winners of the ITA All-American Championships and at-large and wild card selections made by the ITA National Tournament Committee.
