NCAA TOURNAMENT BOUND: Moundir Receives Bid to the Big Dance

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Adam Moundir (Luzern, Switzerland) of the Old Dominion men's tennis team received a bid to the 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championships on Wednesday night. Moundir becomes the first ODU male tennis player to receive a bid to the NCAA Tournament since 2009, when Alex Seleznev accomplished the feat.

The NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Subcommittee selected the 64 singles players that will compete in the 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championships. The singles competition will be conducted May 24-29 at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Georgia, after the conclusion of the team championship, which runs from May 18-23.

For conferences with more than one singles player within the ITA Top 125 eligible/entered singles players, the subcommittee applies the NCAA selection criteria to determine which student-athlete is the automatic qualifier from those conferences. All singles players must have a minimum of 13 completed singles matches, with six matches in the spring, in order to be selected as an automatic qualifier or an at-large selection.

Moundir, who was just named the C-USA Player of the Year for the second consectuive season this morning, is currently ranked No. 50 in the ITA singles rankings and enjoyed a season high ranking of No. 18.
