TRITONS CLOSE IN ON POSTSEASON
The UC San Diego men’s tennis team, ranked at No. 30 nationally in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) poll, has just one regular season match remaining in its 2010 schedule. The Tritons will travel to play UC Riverside on Wednesday at 12 p.m. With the top four teams from the West Region advancing into the NCAA postseason, the Tritons aim to grab a spot based on their 12-10 overall record and strong mark within the D-II region. In the most recent ITA rankings, the top four squads included Hawaii Pacific, BYU-Hawaii, UCSD and Sonoma State.
ELLIOTT EARNS NATIONAL RECOGNITION
Leading the way in UCSD’s singles ladder is junior Erik Elliott, who has compiled a 9-6 mark so far in 2010. Although relatively unknown on the national singles scene at the start of the season, Elliott has garnered attention with his playing performance and is now ranked at No. 29 as a singles player in the latest Division II poll.
UCSD TOPS CAL POLY POMONA, 7-2
The Tritons tallied a 7-2 road victory last Thursday over No. 45 Cal Poly Pomona. The match concluded the Tritons’ regular season competition at the Division II level and regionally, UCSD has posted an 8-3 mark. Having defeated CPP on March 2 by the same score, Thursday’s result wrapped up the sweep of the season series for the Tritons. UCSD now stands at 12-10 overall, with one regular season match remaining - a 12 p.m. road contest next Thursday against Division I UC Riverside. Although the Broncos held pregame festivities for their squad’s seniors, the Tritons put a damper on the celebration by pulling out to a 2-1 lead after the doubles portion of the match. At the No. 1 spot, the newly formed pair of Erik Elliott and Chapman Chan shutout CPP’s Salvador Romero and Kevin Singer, 8-0. The win evened Elliott and Chan’s record at 4-4 as a duo. Elliott continued his winning ways in singles, where he took down the Broncos’ Joshua Lau in a hard-fought battle at the No. 1 position, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. UCSD junior Jake Fellow also put together a two-victory afternoon. He started out the day by picking up an 8-6 doubles win at the No. 3 spot with partner Sam Ling. In the singles portion, Fellow defeated Singer handily, 6-3, 6-1.
SCOUTING THE HIGHLANDERS OF UCR
The Tritons and Highlanders were originally scheduled to play their match in February but the contest was postponed because of inclement weather. Wednesday’s match also serves as the regular season finale for UCR, a squad that is 3-16 overall and 0-5 in league play. The Highlanders compete in the Division I Big West Conference.
