First the Sooners took down No. 6 Arkansas in the round of 16, and then they moved up the ladder to upset the No. 2 seed in UCLA in the quarterfinals.
Next up was No. 4 Wake Forest in one of the two national semifinal matches. Harris and Papa came from one set down to defeat the Demon Deacon pair in the semifinals to earn a spot in the national championship match against top-seed Georgia on Monday.
Oklahoma, the No. 15 overall seed, was a big underdog going up against the No. 1 doubles seed. To make matters even more difficult, the Sooners were taking on the top-seeded Georgia doubles pair of Robert Loeb and Jan Zieliniski on the Bulldogs’ home court at the Dan Magill Tennis Center in Athens.
