No. 10 USC men's tennis held serve at home over the weekend to advance to the NCAA Sweet 16 in Tulsa by beating UNLV, 4-0, and Georgia Tech, 4-2. The Trojans were pushed hard by the Yellow Jackets, but ultimately overcame them thanks to superior depth in their singles lineup.
"Today was a very exciting college tennis match," said head coach Peter Smith about the second round victory. "Georgia Tech gave us all we could handle. Our fight from top to bottom is what our program is all about, and today that took us over the top."

USC will play No. 7 Georgia in the next round on Friday (5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT). The Trojans and Bulldogs, who have combined to win seven of the last nine national championships, were scheduled to play earlier this season in Westwood, but the match was rained out.
