5/21/2019 6:14 PM | Men's Tennis
ORLANDO, Fla. – Utah singles standout Dan Little wrapped up an outstanding career today in the second round of the 2019 NCAA Division I Men's Singles Championships, falling to the No. 5 singles player in the country, Paul Jubb of South Carolina.Â
Little battled hard in the two-set match, but fell 6-4, 7-6 to a top-10 opponent, capping off what has been one of the most successful careers in Utah tennis history. Little was the first Ute to qualify for the NCAA Singles Championships since 2007 and the first to advance to the second round since 1997.Â
Â
Little was able to stay on Jubb's heels throughout the entire first set, tying the score 3-3 through six games. After Jubb pulled ahead 5-3 later on in the set, Little cut the lead to 5-4, but Jubb was able to take the win at 6-4.Â
Little jumped out to a strong 3-1 lead in the second set, but Judd was able to come back and take tie it through six games. After Little took a 6-5 lead, Jubb tied it 6-6 to send it into a tiebreaker with Jubb eventually pulling away for the 7-6 lead.Â
Little has been a mainstay for the Utes since stepping on campus as a freshman in 2015. He has over 95 career wins in a Utah uniform, making him one of the most dominant singles players in Ute history.Â
The London, England, native was named the ITA Mountain Region Senior Player of the Year this season after going 23-8 overall in singles play. He also earned second-team All-Pac-12 as a senior after earning honorable mention as a junior.
Among his incredible accomplishments at Utah are some top-notch wins against ranked opponents, including seven ranked wins this season. Notably this year, he defeated No. 13 Adria Soriano of Miami, No. 16 Brandon Holt of USC and No. 47 Alexandre Rotsaert of Stanford on the way to beating the No. 12-ranked Cardinal at home for Senior Day.Â
As a sophomore, Little had two of the best wins of his career, beating top-12 ranked Martin Redlicki of UCLA and Zach Hewlin of Whitman. Off the court, Little is a Pac-12 All-Academic honoree and an ITA Scholar-Athlete who graduated this year with a degree in management.Â
