10/8/2016 | Men's Tennis
TULSA, Okla. - In an NCAA Tournament rematch, Ole Miss men's tennis junior Gustav Hansson dropped a 6-4, 6-3 decision to No. 1 ranked Mikael Torpegaard of Ohio State to conclude play at the Saint Francis Health System All-American Championships Saturday in the third round.
Hansson, ranked No. 18, and Torpegaard, were locked at 3-3 in the first set, when the Buckeye broke for a 4-3 lead. He held the rest of the way for 6-4. In the second set Hansson served first, but got broken right away. Torpegaard gained another break and led 4-0 on his way to winning the set 6-3 to move onto the quarterfinals.
To reach the third round, Hansson defeated Columbia's Shawn Hadavi in three sets and then on Friday, he overcame a slow start to finish off Oklahoma State's Lukas Finzelberg in two sets.
Hansson and the Rebels will be back in action Oct. 14-17 at the ITA Southern Regional Championships in Auburn, Alabama.
