The Spartans also made history.
The Spartans men’s tennis team was competing in its third straight NCAA tournament, and Tuesday night sealed the legacy of the senior class, which led the team to a 90-13 record over the last four seasons. At third doubles, coach Todd Wojtkowski made a lineup change for the match, plugging in junior Sahil Dayal with sophomore Ansh Shah for the first time in the NCAA tournament. The move paid off, as the Spartans duo bested Alex Ganchev and Jack Moldenhauer 8-6.
The Jumbos added a win at sixth singles with a 6-3, 7-6 win from Andrej Djokic over sophomore Casey Hishinuma to pull back within two, 4-2.
