Harvard Tennis: NCAA Championship Update: live action today

Harvard Tennis:  NCAA Championship Update

Denis Nguyen plays today at 3:30pm EST against Minnesota's top gun, Leandro 
Toledo, in the first round of the NCAA individual championships in Waco, TX. You 
can watch the match live on the Baylor site.   The championship singles draw can be found here.   With rain in the forecast, the match times will probably change so 
check the site for updates.  

Denis Nguyen and Brian Yeung will be competing against University of South 
Florida's top duo Pramming-Robert in first round doubles action on Thursday.  For 
their draw, you can click here.   

In the NCAA Team event, HMT went down in an epic thriller to Northwestern 
Wildcats in Norman, Oklahoma.  It was a tough pill to swallow with two team match points on our racket to advance to the final 32 for the fourth straight year. The match included a thunderstorm delay that pushed us indoors.  At 2-2 in the last set of the last match, a tornado warning delay forced us into a shelter for a 45 minutes.  We were so proud of their fight and heart all year.  At that point, we thought we had seen it all.  Obviously, that was before we arrived in Waco on Sunday night!   

Congratulations to Conor Haughey and Nicky Hu for being voted Co-Captains by their teammates for the upcoming 2015-16 season.  They are both deserving and will be great representatives of the HMT tradition.

Dave, Andrew and Tim
