Mar 22, 2016 | Men's Tennis
SANTA CLARA - The Tulane men's tennis team (12-4) bounced back in dominant fashion from their 4-3 loss to No. 8 Texas Tech on Saturday by rolling to a 7-0 shutout at Santa Clara (6-7) on Tuesday afternoon. The victory was the Green Wave's fifth shutout of the 2016 dual season.
"The guys did a good job taking care of business today against a very solid Santa Clara team," Tulane head coach Mark Booras stated. "We set up some team goals and some individual goals about how we wanted to respond from our last match that we lost, and the guys held themselves accountable to reach those goals and learned a lot from today's match."
The Wave got the ball rolling in doubles by claiming the 1-0 lead via victories from No. 21 Dominik Koepfer/Chi-Shan Jao on court one and Constantin Schmitz/Sebastian Rey on court two. Then in singles, Tulane recorded straight-set victories on all six courts to complete the 7-0 sweep.
