Â
NEW ORLEANS – The Troy men's tennis team has earned the No. 1 seed at the upcoming Sun Belt Championships, the league office announced on Tuesday. The six-team tournament is set to begin on Friday at the City Park/Pepsi Tennis Center in New Orleans.
Â
With the No. 1 seed, the Trojans receive a bye into the semifinals and will play on Saturday at 3 p.m. Troy will play the winner Friday's match between No. 4 Georgia Southern and No. 5 UL Lafayette.
Â
Troy, seeded No. 60 in this week's ITA National Team Rankings, last earned a No. 1 seed in a conference tournament in 2005, its final season in the Atlantic Sun. Troy's highest previous seed in a Sun Belt tournament came in 2010 when the Trojans were the No. 2 seed and went on to win their only Sun Belt Championship.
Â
With the No. 1 seed, Troy (23-6) is just two wins away from an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament. Troy has made just one previous NCAA Tournament appearance, that coming in 2010 following the Sun Belt Championship.
Â
The Trojans have been ranked in the ITA National Team Rankings in each of the last seven weeks, including a season-high No. 57 rank. The Trojans have played four of the other five teams in the tournament, going 4-0 against those teams. Troy has not played UL Lafayette.
Â
UT Arlington is the tournament's No. 2 seed and also received a bye into Saturday's semifinals. The Mavericks will face the winner of No. 3 South Alabama and No. 6 Appalachian State.
Â
