The Final Countdown
This morning brings an opportunity for the Armstrong Atlantic State tennis teams that does not come around often. A chance to win two NCAA National Championships in one day.
Only one other Peach Belt Conference school has won two NCAA Championships in the same season (Kennesaw State in 1996). BYU-Hawaii accomplished the "double" in 2002 and 2003 with the men's and women's tennis team.
All throughout the tournament, the Pirates have played on the "other courts" at Memorial Park, meaning the ones that aren't featured on the NCAA's live video coverage. Today should be different, so you can not only follow along with the live stats links at the left, but at NCAA.com, under men's tennis and women's tennis, look for the story with AASU's pictures (they're currently featuring a photo of Tim Johannsen with the men and of Iuliia Stupak - with an unfortunate ball location - with the women) and the links below the story should have the live video feed.
That way you can join us here in Houston in perhaps witnessing history today.
