Arizona men’s tennis’ historic 2021-22 season came to an end Saturday as the Wildcats fell to North Carolina 4-1 in the second round of the NCAA championships.
The host Tar Heels won the doubles point and three singles points to clinch the match with action on two courts unfinished.
Arizona finishes the season 21-7. The Wildcats went undefeated in conference play on their way to a first-ever Pac-12 regular season championship. However, a stunning quarterfinals loss in the Pac-12 Championships to Washington ended No. 16 ranked Arizona’s chances of hosting the NCAAs.
Playing on UNC’s indoor courts due to inclement weather, the Wildcats gave the Tar Heels all they could handle in doubles competition.
