BOSTON, Mass. – Michigan State Men’s Tennis collected it’s first ever NCAA Tournament win on Friday, May 3, sweeping the nation’s last remaining undefeated team in third-seeded Denver, 4-0 to advance to the Boston Regional final.
The second-seeded and national No. 22 Spartans will face regional host and national No. 12 Harvard tomorrow at 2 p.m. for a shot at the sweet 16 after the crimson claimed a 4-0 win of their own over Boston University Friday.
Wins from the Spartans’ two student-athletes with NCAA Tournament experience, graduate transfers in 2023 Ronald Hohmann III and Sebastien Collard boosted the Spartans to the historic win.
