No. 18 Baylor men’s tennis advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament Friday afternoon in College Station. The Bears posted a 4-0 sweep of No. 36 Arizona State to move on to Saturday’s second round matchup against the winner of host Texas A&M and Lamar.
Baylor head coach Matt Knoll said that after preaching it all season long, his team showed up in all nine spots and competed at a level capable of doing some serious damage in the tournament.
“This was the first day where I thought that all nine spots showed up,” Knoll said.
