Hi UT Tennis Fan,
Saturday was a truly special night at the Texas Tennis Center! A record shattering crowd of over 1,300 people inspired our #1 ranked team to a 5-2 win over #3 ranked TCU, and more importantly to the outright Big 12 Championship! You will want to
click here for a bunch of great pictures and LHN's video of championship point, and then
here for the full match recap. Our regular season is now complete, and we finished it with a record of 21-2. This includes an undefeated record at the Texas Tennis Center (and the Weller Indoor Tennis Center), and an undefeated record outdoors. Our two losses were on the road at Ohio State, and to TCU in the finals of the National Indoors. Both losses were later avenged (Ohio State at the National Indoors, and TCU both in Fort Worth and in Austin).. Our wins include Florida, Georgia, Wake Forest, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas A&M, Stanford, USC, Oklahoma, Pepperdine, Arizona (twice), and TCU (twice). That kind of consistency is not possible without an extremely motivated, and mature group of players who respect every opponent, and discipline themselves to be at their best despite the inevitable challenges they face throughout the season. While we can't promise what will happen in the upcoming Big 12 and NCAA tournaments, I can promise that our team will keep fighting for each other and for Texas, and will make you all proud in the process! I will be back in touch in the coming days with a preview of the Big 12 tournament, and some more updates. Until then, have a great week, and Hook'em!
Sincerely,
Bruce Berque
