University of Minnesota sophomore Harsh Mankad was defeated by LSU's Ajay Ramaswami, 6-3, 6-3, in the first round of the NCAA Men's Tennis Singles Championship in Athens, Ga. Ramaswami, ranked 12th in the nation, advanced to the second round of the 64-player tournament with the win over No. 44 Mankad.

Mankad will compete in the doubles portion of the NCAA Championship on Friday morning with senior Jorge Duenas. Duenas and Mankad, ranked 29th in the nation, will face No. 8 Jean-Noel Grinda and Jean Julian Royer of UCLA. The doubles competition consists of 32 duos. While the Minnesota pair enters the match as underdogs, Mankad and Duenas already own an upset of a top-ranked doubles team. Earlier this season, the duo defeated then-No. 1 and current No. 2 Oliver and Delic of Illinois.
