DALLAS - The Temple men's tennis team beat host SMU 4-3 today to advance to tomorrow's quarterfinals of the American Athletic Conference Championship in Dallas behind senior Thomas Sevel's thrilling three-set victory over Tomas Vaise in the top singles flight. After dropping the doubles point, the Owls rallied to take the first, third, fourth, and sixth singles matches behind strong performances by Sevel, sophomore Juan Araoz, sophomore Eric Biscoveanu, and freshman Mark Wallner.
"This was a great win for us, It's great to beat the host team on their home court," said head coach Steve Mauro.
