Bulls breeze through first round
The USF men’s tennis team shut out Marquette 4-0 in the first round of Conference USA Championships on Thursday.
“We went after them pretty good today,” head coach Don Barr said. “Overall, the guys did a really good job.”
The sixth-seeded Bulls advance to take on fourth-seeded Memphis today. Memphis had a first round bye.
“Memphis is a good team,” Barr said. “I expect them to really come at us. Hopefully we can compete well and jump on them right away, since it will be their first match after their bye, while we already have a match in.”
Women’s tennis
On the women’s side, USF also won, beating St. Louis 4-0 in the first round of the Conference USA Championships.
The Bulls will meet Louisville in the second round today.
Louisville took care of Marquette 4-1.
St. Louis won just five games in its four matches against the third-seeded Bulls.
USF won the doubles point with wins at number one (8-3) and two (8-1). Gabriela Duch won a number-three singles match over Rachel McCullough (6-0, 6-0) and Liz Cruz claimed the number-four singles win over Liz Grasso (6-0, 6-1).
USF also got a point at number-five singles in a default.
