| The University of Minnesota Club Tennis Team defeated the North Dakota State University Club Tennis Team, 26-20, in the finals of the 2010 USTA Campus Championship - Northern Sunday at Life Time Fitness - Lakeville in Lakeville, Minn. It was the seventh straight Section championship for the University of Minnesota and both teams now advance to the 2010 USTA National Campus Championship April 15-17 in Surprise, Ariz. Minnesota opened the finals with a 6-0 win by Michael Perzel and Charlie Ellson in men's doubles, but NDSU charged back winning the women's doubles 6-5 and the men's singles 6-3 making the score 14-12 with women's singles and mixed doubles remaining. Minnesota's Melanie Vu then defeated Erin Swanberg 6-3, giving Minnesota a 20-15 lead heading into the mixed doubles. Minnesota's Michael Kraft and Rachel Goldberg defeated Kelly Rensink and Adam Gustad 6-5 to ensure the 26-20 win. "This was the closest finals match we have had," University of Minnesota captain Mai Lan Leong said. "It is really nice to see other schools in our Section getting better and stepping up their play. We had to work really hard to win this one." For North Dakota State, it was redemption of sorts to advance to the National Championship. NDSU received a wild card bid to National tournament in 2009, but could not attend because the team decided to fight the floods that threatened Fargo, N.D., where the school is located, instead of traveling to the National Championship. This year, they hope they can attend the event, although the town appears to be at high flood risk again in 2010. "We just hope it does not flood," team captain Gustad said. "We are so excited to be representing not only NDSU, but those who played on the team last year." "It is really exciting that we made it to Nationals since this team is so young," Alayna Goodin said. "Five of our six members on this team are freshman and we have eight new freshman overall in the program." The University of Wisconsin – Stout Club Tennis Team won the Silver Bracket with a 22-21 win over the University of South Dakota, taking the supertiebreaker 7-2 to decide the match. The University of South Dakota Club Tennis Team won the overall team sportsmanship award, while UW-Superior's Janessa Demers and Valley City State's Jeremy Luttio were the women's and men's Sportsmanship Award recipients, respectively. |
