Baylor captured its first team championship in any sport when the Bears won the Division I Men's Tennis Championships team title May 25. Baylor earned the crown with a shutout of UCLA, 4-0, at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Bears won the title in just under two hours, one of the shortest championship matches in NCAA history. The win was just the sixth shutout in the history of the title match.

This marks the first time since 1972, when Trinity (Texas) won the event, that a Texas school has won the title.

Baylor's Benjamin Becker also brought home the first singles title for the Bears, defeating Tulane's Michael Kogan in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6, May 31.

Sam Warburg and KC Corkery of Stanford won the doubles title May 31, defeating Georgia's Bo Hodge and John Isner, 6-2, 6-7 (3), 6-4, to claim the crown. It was the Cardinal's 14th NCAA men's doubles title.

In doubles play of the team event, Baylor's Reiner Neurohr and Ivor Lovrak were the first to finish with an 8-4 win at No. 3 over Tobias Clemens and Chris Surapol. Benedikt Dorsch and Matija Zgaga upset UCLA's Alberto Francis and Kris Kwinta at No. 1.

In singles play, all six Baylor players won their first set. Zgaga defeated Francis, 6-2, 6-3, in the first completed match. Next, after rally from a 4-1 deficit to win the first set in a tiebreaker, 7-6 (4), Becker made quick work of Luben Pampoulov in the second set, 6-1. Matias Marin upset Chris Lam in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, to give Baylor its fourth and final point.

"We played our best match of the year. We built toward this all season," said Baylor head coach Matt Knoll. "We played our very best match of the season on the day it mattered the most."

In the singles event, Becker won the first set, and he and Kogan broke each other's serves to tie the match at 6-6 and force a tiebreaker. Kogan led, 6-5, in the tiebreaker and was serving to win the set when he lost the point. With the next two serves, Becker took a 7-5 lead, but fell behind, 8-7, after he couldn't run down a drop shot by Kogan. Trailing, 9-8, Kogan's shot went long and he lost the tiebreaker and the match.

"This was by far my biggest win," said Becker, who finished the season with a 44-9 record. "I was surprised. I didn't expect it at all."

In doubles, Warburg and Corkery beat Isner and Hodge in a fast-paced, three-set match. After two service breaks in the first set, the teams went 23 games without a break.

"Obviously, Georgia played well all year," said Stanford head coach Dick Gould. "They're a great team. I thought our guys had to play their best match to get through those guys and they did."
