Back To The Future - AASU Trails Barry, 2-1, After Doubles

In the 2009 NCAA Division II Men's Tennis National Championship match, the Pirates trailed Barry, 2-1, after doubles - but came up with four singles wins to edge the Bucs, 5-4.

Now in the 2010 quarterfinals, the Pirates will have to turn the same trick if they want to advance to the semifinals. No. 4 Barry won two of three doubles here against the No. 2 Pirates to take the 2-1 lead. No. 3-ranked Rafael Array (pictured) and Mikk Irdoja gave the Pirates' their doubles point with an 8-1 win over No. 10-ranked Ales Svigelj and Max Wimmer. At No. 3 doubles, Eudaldo Bonet and Paul Fitzgerald spotted Andrew Sharnov and Sergio Velez six games at the outset, fought back to get it to 7-6, but the Barry duo closed out an 8-6 win. At No. 2 doubles, Matus Mydla and Daniel Regan fell to Marco Mokzrycki and Emmanuel Fraitzl, 8-5.

In singles, several rematches will take place from last year and earlier this year. No. 2 singles will be a rematch of Bonet and Svigelj from last year's national championship match - won by Bonet, 7-6, 6-0. At No. 4 singles, Mydla and Wimmer will face off in a rematch of a 6-1, 6-1 win by Mydla earlier this year. And at No. 5 singles, Regan will face off against Sharnov after taking a 6-3, 7-6 win earlier this year.
