Men’s tennis’ Garrett Skelly eyes a backhand shot on Wednesday, May 3, 2023. The UTSA men’s tennis team which achieved it’s highest ranking of no. 41 will be headed to the NCAA tournament where they will face Pepperdine in the first round. The men’s team including Tiago Torres and Garrett Skelly will be competing for Coach Sergey Avdeyev and UTSA in the post-season this weekend.UTSA sophomore Tiago Torres had tears in his eyes the last time he stepped off the court at the Texas Tennis Center.
The surge pushed the program to its first at-large bid in the NCAA championships, matching up against Pepperdine at 10 a.m. Saturday in the opening round of the Austin regional. A win could slot the Roadrunners into another meeting with the top-ranked Longhorns. For coach Sergey Avdeyev, the Conference USA Coach of the Year, so much about UTSA is different from when he entered the role in November 2019.
UTSA reached the Conference USA final for only the second time, losing 4-3 to Middle Tennessee but showing enough to earn an at-large NCAA selection. Senior Sebastian Rodriguez, who hovered around .500 in singles matches through his first three years with the program, rose to post the best season of his career, going 11-5.
