Rebels Drop Final Regular Season Match At Texas A&M<\/strong><\/p>\n

COLLEGE STATION, Texas<\/strong> \u2013 The No. 6 ranked Ole Miss men\u2019s tennis came into their final regular season Southeastern Conference match against No. 14 Texas A&M with a chance to clinch the outright SEC West Championship and the No. 2 seed in the upcoming SEC Tournament Championship.\u00a0 The Aggies had other ideas, taking a 4-1 win here Sunday at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center.<\/p>\n

Despite the loss, the Rebels (15-7, 7-5) finish the regular season with a share of their 10th SEC Western Division Championship.\u00a0\u00a0 They tied for third overall with three others teams, and earned the No. 5 seed in the upcoming SEC Championship in Oxford.\u00a0 Ole Miss will face the winner of the No. 12 Alabama\/No. 13 Arkansas match Thursday at 3 p.m. at the Palmer\/Salloum Tennis Center.<\/p>\n

The Aggies jumped out to the early lead by taking the doubles point with wins on courts two and three.\u00a0 They won a couple of huge tiebreakers in singles and gained wins on courts three, four and five to post the victory.<\/p>\n

After dropping the doubles point, junior Johan Bacsktrom lost to Aggie Jackson Withrow at No.5 singles as A&M went ahead 2-0.<\/p>\n

Senior Jonas Lutjen<\/a>, ranked No. 14 in the nation, won his match 6-2, 7-6(3) at No. 2 singles against Junior Ore to get the Rebels on the board.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With the win, Lutjen improved to 28-9 overall, 12-5 at No. 2 singles and concluded the SEC at 8-3.<\/p>\n

Texas A&M clinched the match with two very close wins at three and four singles by winning tiebreakers.\u00a0 One break decided the first set at four in favor of Shane Vinsant 6-4 against sophomore William Kallberg<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The two held serve to get to a tiebreak in the second set, where Vinsant dominated 7-1 to put the Aggies up 3-1.\u00a0 Moments later, A&M\u2019s Harry Adams finished freshman Stefan Lindmark<\/a> 7-6(3), 7-6(3) to clinch the victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey played a little bit better than we did at two and three doubles,\u201d head coach Billy Chadwick<\/a> said.\u00a0 \u201cOverall, they were able to play better on the big points.\u00a0 Jonas played well, and Sko was going to win.\u00a0 If Willie or Slick gets the second set breaker, then all of a sudden we\u2019re still out there playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forberg Skogeng led 3-1 in the final set at six against Aggie Niall Angus and Scholtz, who was back in the lineup in both singles and doubles for the first time in two weeks, was 4-4 in the second set to Jeremy Efferding at one.<\/p>\n
