USC wins it 4-2 as Steve Johnson takes the 3rd

[mikej]

4-2 USC...funny that thompson was the first to let us know

[treeman10]

4-1 USC what happened?

[socaltennnis]

the protest ended up not making a difference in the end.

[treeman10]

The bruins fall in Ojai 4-1 Meister loses a tough battle to Steve Johnson, Puget was in a tough third set with Hanfmann 5-5 in the third

Johnson must have zipped through those last few games

What protest?

[socaltennnis]

USC protested UCLA's lineup in their home match last week. If USC won the protest, Meister's win over Sarmiento last week would have not counted, giving USC the win. The protest didn't stand, but UCLA was required to play Meister ahead of Thompson for this tournament.

Was the score 4-1 or 4-2?

Sounds like a stellar overall match. Great fight by Meister.

Puget held serve at 5-5 per UCLA twitter feed. I would trust that above the conference that suppressed score info all tourney.

looks like the rest of the field is catching up with the Trojans ...

Yes, but we cannot say that anyone has passed them yet.

they lost to UCLA once.. there's dent in the almighty Trojan armor..

[tball2day]

Congrats to Steve Johnson on his 60th consecutive win. That's something crazy good.

[10sfreakky]

I'm surprised that USC's 2, 5 and 6 are struggling so much during this time. Hanfmann was steady and clutch during indoors and Quiroz never seemed to dominate the 6 position against any top PAC 12 schools. Sarmiento's loss to Thompson is also weird. Don't think he's ever lost to him. USC needs to step up at these positions

Washington hosting Gonzaga today with the match starting at 6pm pst. UW has LiveStats & Video for those wanting to follow along.

I wonder why Oregon does not have the same commitment to excellence in tennis as they do to every other sport.

I've wondered that too. They have a really nice indoor/outdoor complex.

If I was a high level recruit, I would be all over that school. Have you seen their cheerleaders?!?!?!

The more pertinent question is have the cheerleaders ever seen a tennis match? My guess is "No."

Haha Oregon needs to get the cheerleaders out there like UVA gets the band out to their matches.
