WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Ryan Peniston and Andrew Watson's run in the NCAA doubles tournament came to a close Sunday evening, as the Memphis men's tennis duo dropped a 6-3, 7-6(6) decision to UCLA's Martin Redlicki and Evan Zhu in the semifinal round.
Peniston and Watson, who earned the Tigers' first win in the NCAA doubles tournament in school history, were selected as the fourth alternate team to the tournament. After three victories throughout the week, the tandem capped their senior seasons with the best postseason doubles finish in program history.
"It was such a fun week for both of these guys," head coach Paul Goebel said.
