The Bears keep rolling along.

Two-seed Baylor men’s tennis posted a gritty 4-1 win over South Florida on Thursday evening to advance the NCAA quarterfinals on Saturday. It was not as easy as the score dictated though.

“(USF)’s team mentality is to fight until the last point, and you didn’t see anyone hang up their hats,” junior Julian Lenz said. “We knew it was going to be really tough because it’s always hard to play against someone who doesn’t give up at any point.”

The match looked anything but pleasant for the Bears at the start of doubles play.
