Men's tennis
MacTaggart advances to singles quarterfinals, doubles semifinals

Result: The IU men’s tennis team has a strong start to its fall season at the ITA Ohio Valley Regional in Knoxville, Tenn., with two tandems reaching the semifinals in doubles competition and junior Josh MacTaggart advancing to the quarterfinals in singles action.

The Action: After three days of play at the regional, IU remains in contention in both the singles and doubles tournaments. MacTaggart, the lone Hoosier still alive in the bracket, has lived up to his lofty pre-tournament No. 3 seeding thus far, defeating four opponents on his way to the quarterfinals.

MacTaggart’s path to the last eight has been far from straight-forward. He dropped the first set in each of his last two matches but managed to rally and advance in both cases.

Though MacTaggart represents the only cream and crimson still left in the singles tournament, all six Hoosiers fared well. Each won his first round match, and Isade Juneau, Jeremy Langer, Dimitrije Tasic and Stephen Vogl all progressed to the round of 32.

IU has two of the four remaining teams in doubles play. Juneau and Langer have won three matches, including a 8-6 quarterfinal victory to earn a place in the semifinals. The other duo, MacTaggart and Vogl, vanquished their Univeristy of Tennessee opponent 8-5 in the quarterfinals to reach the same stage.

Notable number: 6-0  — IU’s record in the first round of singles play at the tournament.
Up Next: MacTaggart is slated to square off against MTSU’s Ben Davis today at 9:30 a.m. Juneau and Langer play the top-rated team, Kentucky, at 2 p.m., while MacTaggart and Vogl will face Tennessee at the same time. Should both IU pairs advance, it would set up an all-Hoosier final for Monday.

Rounding out the rest of the squad are senior co-captain David Erdy and junior Brant Peaper, who are tied for 56th at 78.
