No. 24 USC Men's Tennis Set for Road Battles Against Michigan State, Michigan
March 26, 2026 | Men's Tennis
Trojans look to continue hot streak in conference play.
LOS ANGELES - No. 24 USC men's tennis hits the road for a pivotal Big Ten weekend, taking on Michigan State and Michigan in a two-match swing that will test Troy's momentum against a pair of conference foes.
USC (12-4) enters the trip riding high after a commanding 6-1 win over Wisconsin, continuing to build consistency in conference play. While the Trojans do not currently feature ranked singles players, they've leaned on depth throughout the lineup and steady doubles play, highlighted by the No. 68 pairing of Andrin Casanova and Jack McCarthy. That balance will be crucial on the road, where early doubles points and lineup resilience often dictate outcomes.

Michigan State (9-7, 6-0) presents the first challenge for the Trojans on Friday afternoon. The Spartans are one of the hottest teams in the conference, riding a six-match win streak that includes a statement 4-3 upset of then-No. 10 Illinois on the road. Their lineup is anchored by three nationally ranked singles players in No. 11 Matthew Forbes, No. 36 Ozan Baris and No. 50 Aristotelis Thanos, along with two ranked doubles teams. With firepower across both singles and doubles, Michigan State will look to carry its momentum and protect home court in what promisees to be a tightly contested battle.

The weekend continues against Michigan (7-7, 3-3) on Sunday, a team that has shown flashes of high-level play, most recently edging Northwestern 4-3. The Wolverines boast elite talent at the top, led by No. 10 Max Dahlin and No. 73 Bjorn Swenson in singles, while also featuring one of the nation's top doubles duos in the No. 9-ranked Dahlin/Swenson pairing. Despite the talent, USC has historically had the upper hand in the matchup, leading the all-time series 8-3, and will aim to use that edge as it closes out the road trip.
