  • Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S
    Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Southern California wins third national title in a row; Nguyen clinches championship with thrilling three-set victory: Daniel Nguyen made a shot to earn a break point, fl ipped off his hat, started taking off his shirt and then danced around the court until his Southern California teammates could reach him and pile on. Nguyen downed Sanam Singh, 7-5, 0-6, 6-4, to give Southern California a 4-3 victory against Virginia for the Trojans’ third consecutive NCAA men’s tennis title May 24. They became the fi rst three-time defending champions since Stanford won four in a row from 1995 to 1998. “I remember watching Prakash Amritraj take off his shirt when we won the 2002 title,” Nguyen said. “I thought about doing it and then thought, ‘nah, let’s not do it.’” Seconds later he was tackled to the ground amid a wave of Trojans. “It was an incredible match,” Southern California coach Peter Smith said. “It all came down to the last match. How many teams win three in a row? These boys did it. This coaching staff did it.” Nguyen’s fi nal game featured a solid return game. He dived to save one shot and ended up getting the point. That led to the chip shot from the net that landed a few yards from Singh. “It was an amazing atmosphere,” Nguyen said. “It was unbelievably loud and it was hard to focus. I just seized the moment and took advantage.” Of his second point in the last game, he said: “I just saw the ball and ran as fast as I could and dove for it.
