Chattanooga, Tennessee - Trinity's Wilson Lambeth and Matt Tyer advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III Men's Tennis Doubles Championship.

HIGHLIGHTS

Lambeth and Tyer rallied Thursday to defeat the fourth-seeded team of Zachary Bessette and Jayson Fung of Amherst (MA) College 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the round of 16.

This event marks the first NCAA Championship event for both Lambeth and Tyer.

The Tiger tandem became the first Trinity men's doubles team to reach the quarterfinals since Bobby Cocanaugher and Cory Kowal achieved that feat in 2010.
