ATHENS, Ga. - After a brilliant run in the NCAA Men's Tennis Doubles Championship, the Tulane University tandem of Michael Kogan and Victor Romero was defeated by the tournament's top-seeded team in the quarterfinals on Saturday afternoon at the University of Georgia.
Kogan and Romero, ranked No. 5 in the nation, lost to the brother combination of Richard and William Barker from Rice University, 6-3, 6-4. The Barkers have now won 35 straight matches and own a perfect 26-0 record this spring.
The performance by the Green Wave team earns All-America recognition for the squad, which they also received due to their top 16 seed in the tournament.
Tulane, which is ranked No. 15 in the nation as a team, closed its 2003 season with a 21-6 record, establishing a school record for victories.
