Another N.C. State Cinderella story
... only this time it's in men's tennis. (Yes, I'm still talking about college tennis. As long as John Isner's still around in the NCAA tournament, I'll have my eye on it. Deal with it.)
The Wolfpack came into the NCAA tournament ranked No. 27 in the final regular season ITA poll. But State made noise last weekend by knocking off No. 6 UNC 4-0 in Chapel Hill. They continued that roll today, upsetting No. 11 Texas, 4-3. After losing the doubles point, State won at #2, #3, #4 and #6 singles to beat the Longhorns and advance to the quarterfinals, on Saturday. The Wolfies will face No. 3 Baylor, which should be feeling pretty nervous about now.
If you want to follow State's match then, or watch Isner and Georgia play this evening, or keep up with Catherine Newman and Vanderibilt's results tomorrow, just go to www.georgiadogs.com and scroll down to the tournament information banner ad.
