CLEVELAND, OH – The Johns Hopkins men's tennis team was bested by third-ranked Case Western, 5-0, in the Third Round of the NCAA Tournament Sunday afternoon. The Blue Jays conclude their 2023-24 campaign with a record of 15-7, while the Spartans move to 27-5 and advance to the Quarterfinals with the win.
 
Hopkins fell behind 2-0 early after the pairings of Pranav Gadiraju and Allen Gong at the top flight and Daniel Ardila and Marco Azar at No. 2 fell 8-2 and 8-3 respectively.
