In men's tennis, 1-seed Mohamed Abdel-Aziz (fr.) went 1-1 and lost in the quarters after a first-round bye. Another freshman, Jared Aiman, went out in the first round. Our last freshman on the roster, Jacob Eskeland, was a 3-seed with a first-round bye and also lost in his first match. Junior Daniel Warren went 1-1 and lost in the second round to the same player who would beat Abdel-Aziz. Two-seed red-shirt sophomore Eric Rutledge, a transfer from Wake Forest, has had the best weekend by a long shot. He qualified for the final this morning and will play at noon for title.

Link for the results.

E: Eskeland wins the final in 5 sets! His opponent, Kevin Zhu is a five-star recruit out of Pearland. He graduates high school next fall (one semester early) and is verbally committed to Penn.

On the road this past weekend, the Rice soccer team lost at #18 Memphis 3-1 Friday. Today they beat Tulsa 5-2.

What is there to say about this soccer team? Are they playing as expected?
