WACO, Texas – No. 5 Gonzales Austin and Rhys Johnson were eliminated from the NCAA Doubles Tournament in Thursday’s round one action, falling to Texas Tech’s No. 22 Hugo Dojas and Felipe Soares.
The automatic All-Americans dropped two 6-2 sets to end their chances of advancing into second round of play. With the loss the tandem ends their career with an 18-8 record.
The loss was also Austin’s final match as a Commodore, as the senior graduated last Tuesday. Vanderbilt’s first four-time All-American, Austin plans to continue his tennis career as his time with the `Dores has come to a close.
Johnson will return next season as one of VU’s raising seniors. This summer Johnson plans to study abroad this summer in London taking an economics course.
