TULSA SHOCKS NO. 1 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, 4-3 The No. 51 University of Tulsa men’s tennis shocked the college tennis world on Feb. 28, upsetting the No. 1 Southern California Trojans, 4-3, at Marks Stadium, in TU’s first outdoor match of the season. USC, the most dominant program in college tennis history, and having won five of the last six national championships, came into the afternoon as a heavy favorite against Tulsa. “This was by far the biggest win in our program’s history,” said Head Tennis Coach Vince Westbrook. “A lot of things fell into place for us. We knew we were going to be a better outdoor team and that showed today. Winning at their place is a big deal and the guys did a great job of holding on for the win in such a hostile environment. It was a great college tennis match.”

In first round action, the Israeli native accumulated a 17-11 overall record, and went 13-9 in dual play this season. Seven of those nine losses came against ranked opponents. In his NCAA match, the No. 27th-ranked Ram-Harel looked strong out of the gate, taking a commanding 6-3 win in the opening frame. He looked good for the majority of the second set, after going up 5-4, a game away from advancing to the second round. However, No. 47 Efferding made a brave effort to comeback and take the second frame in the tiebreak. The Aggie senior took advantage of his momentum to pick up the match-clinching third set, 6-2.

On Sunday against #10 Ohio State, #37 Ram-Harel found himself in a three-set marathon against #44 Chris Diaz. Ram-Harel dropped a hard-fought first set, 7-5, but rallied back to take the final two sets, 6-2, 6-1, to propel TU to an upset win over a top-10 Buckeyes side. March 31 (Third Award): The No. 33-ranked Ram-Harel went 2-0 in singles play from the number one position, as the Golden Hurricane won a pair of road conference matches against UCF and No. 18 USF. Against the Knights, with the match in limbo tied at 3-3, Ram-Harel came out on top over Francesc Aulina, 6-7(4), 7-6(4), 6-1, to clinch the match for the Golden Hurricane. Two days later, Ram-Harel took down number-18 ranked Roberto Cid of South Florida to help lead TU to an upset win over the Bulls, 4-3. TULSA SHOCKS NO. 1 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, 4-3 The No. 51 University of Tulsa men’s tennis shocked the college tennis world on Feb. 28, upsetting the No. 1 Southern California Trojans, 4-3, at Marks Stadium, in TU’s first outdoor match of the season. USC, the most dominant program in college tennis history, and having won five of the last six national championships, came into the afternoon as a heavy favorite against Tulsa. “This was by far the biggest win in our program’s history,” said Head Tennis Coach Vince Westbrook. “A lot of things fell into place for us. We knew we were going to be a better outdoor team and that showed today. Winning at their place is a big deal and the guys did a great job of holding on for the win in such a hostile environment. It was a great college tennis match.”
