11/3/2001 12:00:00 AM | Men's Tennis

In day two at the UNLV Invitational, the Golden Gopher men's tennis team continued its impressive play from day one. Against the defending Big Ten champion Ohio State, Minnesota took three of the six singles matches and won both doubles matches.

The tournament is for individuals and the results do not affect the teams' dual meet records. Minnesota will face host UNLV tomorrow in Las Vegas.
