UK Tennis team toppled by Stanford in Sweet 16
#1
The sixth-ranked Kentucky men's tennis team won the doubles point, but could not continue its momentum in singles action, dropping a 4-1 decision to No. 11 Stanford in the NCAA Men's Tennis Tournament Round of 16 in Athens, Ga., Friday.

"A disappointing outcome for us, but a great season for our program," UK head coach Dennis Emery said. "I told the team after the match to not let this match determine how you look at your team. We have had one of the best years in the history of our school. ... There are a lot of great memories for this team that they need to remember."

After UK clinched the doubles point, Stanford's Bradley Klahn, the 36th seed but also the 2010 NCAA men's singles champion, upset UK's No. 3 Eric Quigley 6-1, 6-2 to mount the Cardinal comeback.
