FORT WORTH, Texas - The 20th-ranked Arizona State men's tennis team fell 4-1 to the hosting TCU Horned Frogs Sunday afternoon in Fort Worth, Texas in the second round of the NCAA Championship. ASU's lone point came via the doubles point thanks to Makey Rakotomalala/Tim Ruehl and Max McKennon/Nathan Ponwith.
Arizona State took just two sets in singles play, Ruehl and Rakotomalala both going up in their opening frames, but the Frogs bounced back in a big way and canceled any chance of an upset.
Senior Nathan Ponwith now prepares for the NCAA Singles Championship that kicks off May 23 at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida.
