Stefan Dostanic Named Singles Champion At Sherwood Cup

THOUSAND OAKS, CALIF. -- The USC men's tennis team had its final day of action at the Sherwood Cup washed out, but Trojan junior Stefan Dostanic still emerged with top honors at the event. After netting two strong singles wins in USC's double day of competition on Sunday (Jan. 16), the No. 6-ranked Dostanic was named Singles Champion.

In USC's morning matchups against Stanford players, Dostanic topped the Cardinal's Alexandre Rotsaert 7-6 (3), 6-3. Later that evening, in the Trojans' makeup action against players from Texas A&M, Dostanic made it a winning day for himself in taking down #115 Noah Schachter  6-1, 4-6, 1-0 (10-2).

After this first round of Spring competition, Dostanic grips a 20-4 overall record in this 2021-22 campaign.

Dostanic and the Trojans now line up for their first dual matches of the year at Marks Stadium. USC hosts a doubleheader on Friday (Jan. 21) with a 10 a.m. clash against UC Davis followed by a 2 p.m. matchup against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. And on Sunday (Jan. 23), USC hosts UC Irvine at 3 p.m.
