Blue Gray National Tennis Classic Live Scoring
Another day, another win over a fellow ranked opponent for the Princeton men's tennis team, which upended No. 35 Clemson 4-0 Saturday afternoon in a semifinal match at the Blue Gray National Tennis Classic in Montgomery, Alabama.
Princeton will take on No. 24 South Florida in Sunday's final at 1 p.m. ET.
Princeton broke a five-match string of losing the doubles point, taking the first two matches to claim the afternoon's first point before going on to take five of the first six singles sets. Once Zack McCourt, Dan Richardson and Josh Yablon won their second sets, Princeton had clinched the match and a berth in Sunday's final.

Coach Billy Pate on the match: "We're once again very pleased with how the guys are handling being outdoors and competing hard at each and every position. Today we had much better starts in each doubles and that really set the tone with energy and intensity. Tomorrow will be a tough match with the winner of USF and Texas Tech. Both teams are exceptionally talented so we'll need to be at our very best." |
