College students seem to have a reliance on caffeine to get them through lectures and late night study sessions, but there are healthier alternatives to power through the day.

Men’s tennis team tries to stay undefeated in conference

Mens tennis team tries to stay undefeated in conference

The men’s tennis team will attempt to set two season milestones when it faces three Mountain West opponents over the next three days in Provo, Utah.

TCU (16-5, 3-0) is undefeated and ranked No. 31 in the Mountain West and tied for first place with its 3-0 record. If the Horned Frogs sweep their regular season conference-ending series against the University of Utah, San Diego State and the University of New Mexico, they will have finished as undefeated regular-season conference champions.

The Utes (12-11, 2-4) are first up for the Horned Frogs today. Last season, in TCU’s conference-opening game, the Horned Frogs beat the Utes 5-2.

Junior Kriegler Brink fell to junior Ute Wes Hancock 7-6 (8-6), 6-3 and senior Ute Othman Zerouali-Quariti defeated TCU’s Andrew Ulrich 6-1, 4-6, 6-1.

San Diego State University was one of two conference teams the Horned Frogs lost to last season. The Aztecs dropped the Horned Frogs 4-3, in TCU’s first conference loss of the 2007 season.

SDSU (12-8, 1-2 MWC) is next up for the Horned Frogs. The Aztecs are losers of their last two games, falling to Utah and New Mexico, both by a score of 5-2.

TCU closes out its three-day series against New Mexico (16-6, 3-0), which is tied with the Horned Frogs for the conference lead. TCU took the contest last year 4-2.

Both teams have three conference games over the next three days, which will finish their regular-conference seasons.

New Mexico, in addition to TCU, will face the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and Brigham Young University.

TCU beat UNLV earlier in the season 5-2 and BYU 6-1.

Following its three-game series, the TCU tennis team will face crosstown rival SMU before the MWC championships.

Last year it fell in the semifinals of the championship 4-0 to UNLV.
