Mississippi State wins SEC Men's Tennis Championship

This is a modal window.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Mississippi State head men's tennis coach Matt Roberts said Saturday after the ninth-ranked Bulldogs' win over No. 10 Florida that, if a match came down to one court to clinch a match, he had full confidence in every player in his lineup. On Sunday, junior Trevor Foshey proved him right, delivering an epic three-set victory to hand second-seeded State (20-2) a 4-3 upset of fifth-ranked and top-seeded Texas A&M (22-5) for the 2018 SEC Championship crown.

It was only State's second SEC tournament title since the event went to a dual match format in 1990, the other coming in 1996 when MSU won four matches in four days to claim the league crown in Fayetteville, Ark.
