No. 5 USC Exits the ITA National Team Indoor Championship Tournament with a Loss to Alabama
February 18, 2024 | Men's Tennis
The Trojans are now 4-1 when they win the doubles point this season
NEW YORK CITY - No. 5 (12-seeded) USC men's tennis drops the final matchup of their ITA National Team Indoor Championship journey as they lost to No. 21 (16-seeded) Alabama 4-1 in the third day Consolation rounds, on Sunday, Feb. 18 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City.
The Trojans had limited highlights in the matchup, but they seemed to come early, as USC won the doubles point to score the first point of the dual. The No. 1 doubles team of Peter Makk and Lodewijk Weststrate came through first for USC, as they won 6-3. The Trojans needed the No. 3 team of Volodymyr Iakubenko and Samuell Rubell to come through, and they did as they erased a 5-3 deficit to eventually win in a tiebreak 7-6(5).
The singles were less successful, as the Trojans couldn't get on the board before the dual concluded.
