Tough 4-1 loss in the ITA semis today at Virginia.
Allare and Shuhei won at #3 doubles and Dino Marcan def. #16 Jarmere Jenkins at 3rd singles.
Next up is the 3rd place match tomorrow vs. Texas.
The two best teams in the tournament competed today---Have to believe that Virginia will not have much difficulty with Tennessee in the finals tomorrow.

As expected Virginia defended their home court in the finals of the ITA indoor tournament by a 4-1 score.
In a noon match, moved up because of the weather, Tennessee managed to win the doubles point, but the strength of the Cavaliers was evident in the single's as they quickly swept 5th, 6th, 1st and 4th positions.

This is the 3rd year in a row that UVA has won the ITA indoors.

At the Varsity Indoor Tennis Center, this afternoon, #3 ranked Ohio State found itself in a 0-1 deficit after dropping the double's point.

The strategy for Kentucky's recent victory over top ranked UVa began with a fast start and a replication of that formula looked imminent early.

Matt Allare came out of the gate with the hammer down and quickly dispatched Dyce at #6 singles, 6-3, 6-4 to even the score at 1 apiece.
The top three in the Buckeye lineup, Buchanan, Kronauge, and Marcan each followed with straight set victories to seal the victory with the 4th team point.
Both Buchanan and the Captain had to overcome breakers in the first set, before winning 7-5, 6-2 and 6-4, 6-3 respectively.
Balazs Novak added a fifth Buckeye victory at #4 singles with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Gonzalez.

Shuhei Uzawa battled back after dropping the first set to even his match at #5 but then lost in a super tie breaker 6-4, 6-7, 1-0.
Three UK single's players entered today's contest nationally ranked by the ITA. Buchanan defeated #8 ranked Quigley, Kronauge triumphed over #29 Musiliak, and Uzawa lost to #125 Gonzalez.
The Buckeyes will look to extend their home match win streak tonight at 6 pm against Wright State University.

Today's match vs. Baylor was scheduled as an outdoor event, but was cancelled due to inclement weather.
Baylor must not have had access to indoor courts to move location.

No make up date has been set.
I have to believe it is hard on college students to break class schedules, travel to Texas for a match and discover it is cancelled due to weather.:confused:
