  • Mid-Atlantic Section TOC Championship Green Spring Racquet Club, Lutherville, MD February 11-12, 2012
    USTA/MID-ATLANTIC’S TENNIS ON CAMPUS NEWSLETTER SPRING 2012 Mid-Atlantic Section TOC Championship Green Spring Racquet Club, Lutherville, MD February 11-12, 2012 Despite the freezing temperatures, the tennis at Green Spring Racquet Club in Lutherville, Maryland was just starting to heat up. On the weekend of February 11th and 12th, the club played host to the 2012 Mid-Atlantic Tennis On Campus Section Championship. 15 club tennis teams from colleges and universities across the section gathered in Maryland to compete for a chance to earn a trip to this year’s Tennis On Campus National Championship in Cary, North Carolina. Saturday’s action kicked off with pool play. The 15 team field was divided into 3 pools of 4 and one pool of 3. Pool winners were the College of William & Mary, James Madison University, Old Dominion University, and the University of Virginia. Joining these teams in the gold bracket were Johns Hopkins University, George Washington University, Georgetown University and the University of Maryland. On Sunday, a win in the first round would guarantee a trip to nationals. After UVA, James Madison, and Maryland advanced out of the quarter finals comfortably, one match proved to be a nail bitter. The William and Mary team was leading going into the mixed doubles set and a quick break by George Washington had the Tribe on edge. But thanks to a few clutch forehands by both William and Mary players, the match was over and the Tribe was moving on with a 25-22 victory. Because UVA won the fall invitational and already secured a bid to nationals, an extra bid went to the winner of the back draw.
