COLLEGE STATION, Tex. – South Carolina junior men’s tennis player Seth Rose opens play Wednesday in the NCAA Invidividual Championships with a first-round match against Nebraska’s Lance Mills at the Texas A&M Tennis Center. The two meet at 11 a.m. (EDT) in the 64-player tournament to determine the nation’s top men’s tennis player.

Rose led the Gamecocks to the NCAA Championships this season, where Carolina advanced to the second round before losing to eventual national runner up and top-ranked Georgia in Athens.

The winner of the Rose-Mills match will take on either Daniel Kiernan of LSU or 9-16 seed Amer Delic of Illinois Thursday at a time to be determined.
