Ole Miss Men’s Tennis vs Texas A&M on Friday, April 11th, 2014 at the Palmer\/Salloum Tennis Center in Oxford, MS.<\/p><\/div>\n

OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 All-American Nik Scholtz would like nothing better than to lead the Ole Miss men\u2019s tennis team back to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, but he also has a goal of an winning an NCAA Singles Championship.<\/p>\n

Scholtz, who was named SEC Player of the Year, last week, will begin his quest for an individual title May 21. He earned the SEC\u2019s automatic bid to the NCAA Singles Championship as a 9-16 seed.\u00a0 It marks the third straight year for Scholtz to be seeded in the field of 64.<\/p>\n

The Caledon, South Africa native reached the Elite Eight in his freshman campaign in 2012 on his way to becoming the 27th All-American in the history of the program, but last year he lost in the first round.\u00a0 This year Scholtz hopes to make a run for the title.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am feeling really confident right now and physically I feel as good as I ever have,\u201d Scholtz said.\u00a0 \u201cI really want to make a run this year.\u00a0 My freshman year I was able to make the top eight, but the biggest reason I lost, was physically I wasn\u2019t fit enough.\u00a0 My body couldn\u2019t hold up to even challenge the guy in the quarterfinals.\u00a0 This year, I feel like if I go out there and fight hard and have the right mentality, I can definitely make something happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The singles and doubles competition will be conducted May 21-26 at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Ga., following the conclusion of the team championship, which runs from May 15-20. The University of Georgia will serve as host.<\/p>\n

The Rebels earned their 21st consecutive NCAA Team Championship bid and will head to South Bend, Ind., next weekend to face Northwestern in the first round Saturday, May 10 at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
