USC successfully began their postseason in San Diego at the Barnes Tennis Center by winning the Pac-12 Team Tournament over the weekend.
The No. 13 USC Men’s Tennis team earned their fifth Pac-12 tournament title in program history, their first since 2019. Because of the pandemic and the subsequent cancellation of last year’s tournament, this weekend’s victory essentially meant back-to-back conference titles for the Trojans.
USC was the third seed in the tournament and kicked things off by playing against the sixth-seed Oregon Ducks. The Trojans previously played the Ducks on April 3 when they easily won 5-2. Similar to this previous matchup, USC was able to beat Oregon once again in the quarterfinals with a 4-1 victory.
