Last February, the North Carolina men’s tennis team faced a shot at winning its first title in program history at the 2016 ITA National Team Indoor Championship. With the score tied at two and the remaining matches in tight battles, then-juniors Ronnie Schneider and Jack Murray did what they’d aimed to do from day one of their freshmen year: they brought the team a championship.
“We’d never really won anything,” said Murray. “That was one of our goals coming in, being able to establish that championship culture.”
After dropping his first set, Schneider fought to a third-set tiebreaker victory, putting UNC one match away from taking home a championship trophy.
