Michigan tennis reaches Elite Eight after Texas victory
Michigan's women's tennis team defeated Texas in a grueling 4-3 comeback victory, securing a spot in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. The win came down to a third-set tiebreaker. Senior Julia Fliegner clinched the win in her singles match, overcoming a hobbled opponent after a nearly four-hour battle. Michigan lost the doubles point but rallied with key singles victories to advance. The Wolverines, ranked third nationally, will face Oklahoma State in the quarterfinals on Thursday in Waco, Texas, aiming to surpass their previous two years' Elite Eight finishes.
