The Georgia A team won its third Tennis On Campus Southern Championship, defeating in-state rival Georgia Tech A.
Georgia’s big-serving co-captain Matthew Sloan bombed aces in the mixed doubles set. Georgia broke a 5-5 tie in mixed, extending their unsurmountable lead for a 23-20 victory. The Bulldogs were crowned Alley champions.
Winning in convincing fashion for UGA was Ethan Berry and Avsal Farouq 6-1 in men’s doubles and Sivan Cohen who sailed to a 6-2 victory in women’s singles.
Georgia Tech, the defending champion, started strong when Laterine Ng and Divya Tullari won the women’s doubles 6-1.
In the Rally bracket, 2023 champion Emory defended its title by defeating University of Georgia’s C team 27-16.
