St. John's Men Will Battle No. 5 Virginia in NCAA Tournament

NCAA Bracket

QUEENS, N.Y. – After winning its first BIG EAST Men's Tennis Championship since the 2015-16 season, the St. John's men's tennis team will face No. 5 seed Virginia in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Charlottesville, Va., on Friday, May 3, at 1 p.m.

The Johnnies (19-5) earned an automatic berth in the tournament after defeating Marquette, 4-3, in the conference title match a week ago today. The Red Storm has won its last 13 matches, seven of which came against BIG EAST competition. The squad is one win shy of reaching 20 wins on the season, a mark that the program hasn't eclipsed since the 2015-16 season.
