QUICK HITS
Postseason Play Continues
The Bulldogs continue their postseason after winning matches in the first and second round of the NCAA Tournament. Georgia beat Florida Gulf Coast, 4-0, in the first meeting in program history against the Eagles on May 6, before beating Oklahoma, 4-1 on May 7. Georgia finished as the runner-up of the Southeastern Conference Championship in Auburn, Ala. 
 
Joining the Bulldogs in the Athens Super Regional is No. 11-seed Harvard. The Crimson advanced after a pair of 4-0 sweeps against Siena and Arizona State in Cambridge, Mass. The winner of the match will advance to the national site at the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona, Fla. for the quarterfinal round and onward, which will be played on May 18-20.
 
The program is seeking its seventh NCAA national championship (1985, 1987, 1999, 2001, 2007, 2008) and ninth team title in history (ITA Indoor National Champions in 2006, 2007). 
 
32-Time SEC Champions
With the Bulldogs' win against No. 12 Mississippi State at home on Thursday, April 13, Georgia clinched the outright regular season SEC Championship for the 32nd time in program history, which leads the SEC. Georgia earned a perfect 12-0 record in conference play for the 16th time and sixth in the Manny Diaz era. With an 18-5 record, the team finished the regular season with a .783-win percentage, the best since the 2015-16 squad entered the postseason at 18-3, good for a .857 percentage.
 
All-American Bulldogs
By being named a top-16 seed in the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championship, Ethan Quinn has earned Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-American Honors for both competitions and is joined by redshirt senior Trent Bryde for honors in doubles. This marks the fifth career All-American honors for Bryde.
 
Quinn, a native of Fresno, Calif., claimed the No. 2 seed in the 64-person field after he played the top spot for Georgia in singles. He finished with a 16-8 record, including winning his previous nine matches and is 14-1 since Feb. 19. After winning the Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-American singles title in October, he entered the spring as the top-ranked singles player in the country and did not leave the top five all season.  
 
Quinn paired with Bryde in doubles, where they were named the No. 4 seed in the 32-team event. Together, they went 15-9 in the spring, earning 11 wins against ranked opponents and are 8-2 in their last 10 matches. The No. 5 doubles team in the country, Bryde and Quinn clinched the point six times for the Bulldogs and have eight wins by 6-3 or better. 
 
Dawgs in the Rankings
In the latest team rankings from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, Georgia held the No. 6 spot – the same as its NCAA Tournament seed – in the team rankings for the second straight week.
 
Redshirt freshman Quinn moved up to No. 2 in the singles ranking and is 14-1 in his last 15 match results, dating back to Feb. 19. The SEC Freshman of the year reached his highest singles ranking since Nov. 16, 2022, where he was the top-ranked player in the country heading into the spring season.
 
Blake Croyder, tied for the most dual match singles wins on the team with 19, moved to No. 106. The Marietta native reached his 100thcareer win after defeating Mississippi State's No. 95 Ewen Lumsden by a 6-2, 6-1 score on April 13. Bryde makes his third straight appearance in the singles poll, now being ranked No. 116. The Sewanee native is 10-7 on court three this season and 7-3 in his last 10 match results.
 
Bryde and Quinn make up the top spot for Georgia in doubles and rose to the No. 6 pair in the country in the latest doubles poll. The tandem has won 16 matches this season on court one, including five point-clinching victories. Quinn is the only freshman in the nation to be ranked in the top 10 of both the singles and doubles poll.
