No. 1 USC Men Double Up On 7-0 Wins At Mark Stadium
February 22, 2020 | Men's Tennis, Features
Trojans top visiting Air Force and Army.
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. — The No. 1 USC men's tennis team beat out the elements and scored back-to-back sweeps in a doubleheader at Marks Stadium today. In just the second meeting between USC and Air Force, the Trojans notched a 7-0 win over the visiting Falcons. After a rain delay, USC and Army squared off for the first time in program history, and the top-ranked Trojans held their ground for another 7-0 victory. USC is now 11-1 overall.
With the morning's clear skies overhead, the Trojans took the courts against the Falcons for the first action of the day and quickly collected the doubles point with wins on courts three and two. USC's Bradley Frye and Ryder Jackson set the winning tone with a 6-2 win at the No. 3 slot, and then #50 Stefan Dostanic and Riley Smith secured the 1-0 lead with their 6-3 victory on court two, suspending action at the top spot.
In singles, the Trojans had #79 Stefan Dostanic hit the gas and make it a speedy 2-0 advantage with his 6-2, 6-0 win over Justin Waldman on court five. From there, USC rattled off a swift stretch of straight-set wins. Top-ranked Daniel Cukierman built a 3-0 foundation for the Trojans with his 6-4, 6-4 win on court two, and then #24 Brandon Holt came through with the clincher on a 6-2, 6-3 victory on court one. The match played on, and a quick-fire run of USC victories followed. #15 Mor Bulis made it 5-0 with his 6-4, 6-2 decision at the No. 3 spot, and Bradley Frye stormed his way to a tiebreak victory on court five, victorious with a 6-2, 7-6 (2) decision. Bringing in the final point was Jake Sands on court six with a 6-4, 6-1 win that wrapped a 7-0 win and put a halt to action just in time for rain to stymie the start of the next matchup with Army.
After a rain delay that pushed things back a bit, USC and Army would take the courts together for the first time in program history. The Trojans had a new-look doubles lineup with two fresh pairing sandwiching the #35 Bradley Frye and Riley Smith on court two. That duo would clean up a 6-0 win at that spot, followed quickly by Daniel Cukierman and Stefan Dostanic's 6-1 win at the top spot in their first doubles match together. That suspended Mor Bulis and Jake Sands' first battle on court three, and brought up singles play with USC up 1-0.
USC stayed the course in singles, with Frye punching up a smooth 6-1, 6-1 win on court six to light the fuse. At the top spot, Holt produced a 6-0, 6-2 victory to nudge USC along in a winning direction, and Jackson pounced on the clincher with a 6-3, 6-1 decision. The match rolled along, with more straight-set wins in Trojan pockets, as Sands, Smith and Bulis rounded out the day's work with solid wins.
The Trojans now turn to conference play with a Pac-12 road trip ahead next week. USC will visit Oregon on Friday (Feb. 28) at 2:30 p.m. in Eugene before a 12 p.m. matchup at Washington on Sunday (March 1) in Seattle.
