NOTES

The Broncos last played on Jan. 29, defeating Sacramento State 4-3 at home on Nick Cmager's clincher at 3-all.
In the spring season opener against UC Santa Cruz (Jan. 22), six Broncos - Ryan Ali, Nick Cmager, Guillaume Dalmasso, Arthur Neuhaus, Matthew Rodriguez and Mann Shah - each won their doubles and singles matches as part of the 7-0 sweep.
Junior Mann Shah won two titles during the fall, the top-flight singles title at the UC Davis Aggie Invitational and the ITA Super Regionals consolation bracket singles title.
Sophomore Guillaume Dalmasso was the singles runner-up at the ITA Northwest Regional Championship's main draw while junior Ryan Ali was the runner-up in the consolation bracket.
Dalmasso tops the team with 12 singles wins while Shah and Neuhaus have nine each.
Shah and James Bell led the fall with three doubles wins each.
Santa Clara returns seven players (Ryan Ali, Nick Cmager, Guillaume Dalmasso, Santiago Hinojosa, Arthur Neuhaus, Matthew Rodriguez and Mann Shah) from last season when it finished 8-7, 4-4 WCC, including victories in five of the last six matches in an abbreviated campaign composed of only the spring season. The Broncos added one newcomer, James Bell, who transferred from Louisville.
The Broncos finished No. 5 in the Spring 2021 Oracle Intercollegiate Tennis Association regional team rankings. Shah finished top-20 in singles with Arthur Neuhaus ranked No. 5 in doubles.
Last spring, Neuhaus was named All-WCC Second Team Doubles where he tied for the team lead (alongside Dominic Barretto) with six doubles victories and led the team with nine singles wins.
Shah earned his first conference honor when he finished the spring 7-8 including 3-7 at No. 1 and 4-1 at No. 2. The sophomore from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India won three of his last four matches.
Head coach Niall Angus is in his sixth year as the head coach. Entering the 2021-22 season, Angus owned a 58-41 career record and coached eight all-conference singles, seven all-conference doubles and nine conference all-academic honorees.
