The Bronco tennis team rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat #37 VCU and defend its title in the Blue Gray Classic in Montgomery, Alabama. It is the second straight Blue Gray title for the Broncos and the third in their history. Boise State also won in 1998.
VCU captured the doubles title, then went up 2-0 when Alejandro Argente downed Boise State's Garrett Patton 6-3, 6-3 at #4 singles.
But the Broncos came storming back. Despite losing the first sets in four of the six singles matches, the Broncos won four in succession. Nathan Sereke dominated VCU's Nick Jones at #2 singles to take a 6-3, 6-3 win. Brendan McClain soon followed with a 6-3, 6-4 win at #5 singles to even the match.
Toby Mitchell prevailed, 6-4, 6-4 at #6 singles and the Broncos were one win away.
Andy Bettles, one of the nation's top players, had lost his first set to Alexis Heugas 6-4. But his rally to win the second set, 6-1, was a turning point in the championship match. Bettles then captured the third set, 6-2, to give the Broncos the title.
