Cameron Punches Ticket to Nationals

LAWTON, Okla. – Cameron defeated Lubbock Christian 4-0 Friday morning in the NCAA Division II South Central Regional to punch their ticket back to nationals.

After winning last week's Lone Star Conference Tournament, the Aggies opened the NCAA postseason as the 1-seed in the South Central Region. CU beats the Chaps for the second time this year after closing the year with a 6-1 win to end the season.

The Black-and-Gold came out Friday with a point to prove, playing with high energy out of the gate. In doubles, Joao Duleba and Baptiste Mercier kicked things off with a 6-0 win at No. 2. Then, Kristian Kubik and Emilio Seelbach took down Martins Abamu and Herman Aguirre 6-2 on three to earn the doubles point for Cameron.


Thomas Cardona earned the point at No. 2 singles when his opponent retired. Cardona was leading 6-0, 3-0 at that point. Mercier also dominated in his match on court three, taking the first set 6-0, and winning the second 6-4, giving the Aggies a 3-0 lead.


LSC tournament MVP Kubik continues his dominating sophomore campaign winning his 15th consecutive match. Kubik claimed the clinching point at No. 4 after winning 6-2, 6-4. He battled back in the second set, taking six straight scores after finding himself down 0-4.


Josh Cobble's squad heads to Orlando, with a 16-3 record, with a 6-2 home, 6-1 away, and 4-0 neutral spilt. This makes four straight seasons that the Aggies will head to the national tournament and Cobbles fifth time leading a team there.


At No. 1, Tomas Almeida dropped the first set 3-6 but was leading 4-3 in set two when the match was completed, Duleba won the opening set 7-5 and was down 3-2 in set two on five when Kubik sealed the deal, and Alvaro Chavez had a 6-2, 5-4 lead at No. 6 when things ended with a celebration for the Aggies.


Cameron heads to the National Championship at the Collegiate Center in Orlando, Fla. The tournament is May 11-16, and CU's opponent and first match dates and times will be released in the coming days.
