COLLEGE TENNIS RESULTS FROM INDIAN WELLS |

Wild Semis, Finals Today, In The Collegiate Challenge at BNP Paribas Open

If you only had nosebleed seats in Stadium 1 yesterday, we sure do hope you chose to watch some exciting college tennis happening on the Practice Courts instead. These young men laid it all on the line for their schools, gunning for a shot at the 2nd Collegiate Challenge Trophy.

In the first semifinal match of the day, Columbia (15) faced off against top-ranked Oklahoma. Tennis fans might recognize Oklahoma’s head coach, John, because he looks an awful lot like his younger brother, Andy Roddick.

The Columbia Lions jumped out to an early 1-0 lead as they took the doubles point. It looked like they were on track to pull off a real upset when they also took 3 first sets against the Sooners. But Coach Roddick got his men back on track quickly, allowing Columbia only one win at Line 6 singles. Here is a recap of the match:

#1 Oklahoma 4, #29 Columbia 2

1. #19 Andrew Harris (OU) def. #16 Winston Lin (COL) 6-2, 6-2

In the day’s second semifinal, 4th-ranked USC faced #3 Baylor in what would prove to be a very tight contest.

The doubles started off with each team taking one match, so it all came down to the Line 2 guys. The Baylor duo of Julian Lenz and Diego Galeano proved too tough during the deciding tiebreak, and Baylor jumped to a 1-0 lead.

First sets were evenly split in the singles competition, and, as it turned out, so were second sets. Each singles match was won in straight sets, 3 for Baylor and 3 for USC, giving Baylor the overall victory and a spot in today’s Final.
