NEW YORK – The No. 8 seed Columbia men's tennis team will begin its run in the 2024 NCAA Tournament Friday with a 1 p.m. match against Quinnipiac at the Philip and Cheryl Milstein Family Tennis Center.
As the No. 8 national seed, Columbia continues to make history as the first Ivy League team to ever earn a top-eight seed in the NCAA Tournament. Columbia will host its fifth regional in the past 10 years and will have a chance to host a super regional for the first time in program history with two wins this weekend.
"I am extremely proud of our players who have worked hard their entire careers for this amazing opportunity," Bidyut K. Goswami Head Coach of Men's Tennis Howard Endelman '87CC said.
Columbia finished the regular season with a 20-3 overall record and a 6-1 mark in Ivy League action. The Lions claimed the Ivy League title for the 17th time in program history after winning their final six matches of the regular season. It was Columbia's first crown under coach Howard Endelman '87CC.
The Lions will face Quinnipiac in the first round Friday afternoon. The Bobcats claimed their first-ever MAAC championship by defeating Fairfield, 4-2 in the championship match. Quinnipiac is 14-10 overall this season and finished conference play with a 5-1 mark.
