TUSCALOOSA, Ala.- Purdue's Men's Tennis closed out the final day of the Big Ten/SEC Challenge with a singles win from Daniel Labrador.
After dropping the first set 2-6 to his opponent from Alabama, Labrador battled back to win the next two sets. Including a commanding 6-2 win in the final set. Labrador's three set victory accounted for one of the two total Sunday victories for the Big Ten's representatives.
The Boilermakers return to West Lafayette with conference bragging rights as they accounted for 11 of the 19 total victories among the three Big Ten attendees. Purdue led the way for the conference all weekend as they had the most wins, or tied for the most wins among the Midwestern squads on each day. The Boilers accumulated three wins on Friday, two wins on Saturday and one win on Sunday.
All four Boilermaker players walk away with a victory, but Freshman Stefan Simeunovic turned heads with a team high three wins in his collegiate debut. He leaves Tuscaloosa with a 3-3 record across singles and doubles.
The Boilers next opportunity for competition will be an in-state matchup in South Bend at the Notre Dame Invitational from Oct. 6-8.
