Top-seeded Memphis extended its winning streak to 13 matches as the Tigers scored a 4-1 win against No. 8-seeded Temple Friday morning in the quarterfinal round of The American Men’s Tennis Championship.
 
The Tigers, who are ranked No. 18 nationally, improved to 16-1 against unranked teams this season, by taking the doubles point and getting wins at No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 singles.
 
Senior Ryan Peniston was a 6-1, 6-0 winner at No. 1 singles to improve to 14-2 in dual matches this season, while Kai Lemke picked up his 14th dual match win of the year with a staight-set win at No. 3 singles. Peniston and Lemke also contributed to the doubles scoring as Peniston paired with Andrew Watson, while Lemke joined Felix Rauch as both tandems took 6-3 victories.
 
Memphis will face USF in Saturday’s semifinal round. The Tigers were 7-0 winners against the Bulls April 6 in Memphis.

USF 4, Wichita State 3
Records: USF (9-15), Wichita State (14-9)
Junior Alberto Barroso-Campos won a three-set battle at No. 1 singles to send No. 5-seeded USF on to the semifinal round of The American Men’s Tennis Championship with a 4-3 win against No. 4-seeded Wichita State Friday morning.
 
The Bulls, who have won each of the first four American Athletic Conference titles, improved to 13-0 all-time in the tournament despite playing as the lower-seeded team for only the second time in those 13 contests.
 
The doubles point proved to be the difference in the match as the teams split the six singles contests. The Bulls earned wins at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles to score the first team point, but Wichita State was able to build a 3-1 lead after the Shockers won three of the first four singles matches.
 
USF’s Peter Bertran tied it a 3-3 when he held off Murkel Dellien for a 6-3, 7-5 win at No. 2 singles. That set the stage for Barroso-Campos, who took a 6-2 in his first set, dropped the second set by the same score, but rebounded for a 6-3 win in the third.
 
USF will face top-seeded Memphis Saturday in the semifinal round of the championship. The Bulls are 3-0 all-time against the Tigers in The American Championship, including a 4-0 win in last year’s semifinals.

Records: Tulane (16-6), ECU (22-5)
Tulane, the No. 2 seed in The American Championship, will make its fourth straight appearance in the semifinal round after the Green Wave topped ECU 4-1 in Friday’s quarterfinal match.
 
The No. 29-ranked Green Wave won at No. 3, No. 5 and No. 6 singles after taking the doubles point. The tandem of Tyler Schick/Hamish Stewart was a 6-3 winner at No. 2 doubles and each player won his respective singles match in straight sets to lead Tulane, which has won its last five matches.

UCF 4, Tulsa 3
Records: UCF (11-9), Tulsa (11-17)
Alan Rubio’s three-set win at No. 3 singles capped UCF’s comeback from a 3-1 deficit and sent the No. 3-seeded Knights to the semifinal round of The American Championship with a 4-3 win against No. 6-seeded Tulsa Friday afternoon.
 
UCF, which reached the final of last year’s championship, advances to the semifinal round for the second straight year.
 
Ranked No. 42 nationally, UCF trailed 3-1 after the Knights took the doubles point, but saw Tulsa put the first three singles matches in the books, including  a three-set battle won by Jarod Hing that brought the Golden Hurricane within one point of the win.
 
Eero Vasa started the comeback with a straight-set win at No. 5 singles, while Gabriel Decamps bounced back after dropping the first set to take a three-set victory at No. 2. That made the No. 3 matchup between Rubio and Tulsa’s Lucca Baptista the winner-take-all match. Baptista won a second-set tiebreaker to force a deciding third set, but Rubio gained an early break and held on for a 6-2 win.
 
UCF will face Tulane Saturday at 1 p.m. CT in the semifinals. The Knights eliminated the Green Wave 5-0 in last year’s semifinals.
