March 22, 2019 | Men's Tennis
The Tigers will play Saturday against 36th-ranked University of San Diego at USD at 10 a.m. Pacific Time/1 p.m. Eastern Time.
"We did a pretty good job in our first outdoor match since Blue Gray last month," Princeton coach Billy Pate said. "Wichita State is a battle-tested team that has played a tough schedule and posted good wins this year. We knew it would be a tough match and we're pleased to get through to play a very tough USD squad tomorrow."
Princeton opened with a doubles-point win with Karl Poling and Damian Rodriguez taking the final match on court after the teams had split the first two, and Rodriguez, Poling and Ryan Seggerman won three of the first four singles matches off court to clinch the match.#50 Princeton 4, #48 Wichita State 1
