RALEIGH, N.C. – The tandem of Robbie Mudge and Ian Dempster of the NC State men’s tennis team captured a straight-set victory in the Round of 32 in the NCAA Doubles Championship Thursday afternoon at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.

Mudge and Dempster won the first set in the match, 6-4, against Baylor’s 21st-ranked duo of Patrick Pradella and Mate Zsiga before winning a tightly contested tiebreak to win the match in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6 (7).
