Johnson, Quiroz and Santamaria earn Ncaa All Amercian Honors

Once a player or a doubles team reaches the quarter finals they become all americans, the first time for Maria and Roberto and 7th for Steven. Maria is the First USC women's tennis player since Maria Sanchez (2010) to get to the quarter finals. Roberto got this honor for being the partner of Johnson in doubles, which they play their Semi Final today at 4:00 EST. Today Johnson took out Virginias Alex Domijan (yes they lose again) 6-0, 5-7, 6-1 and advance to the semi-finals, where he will face long time friend Stanford's Brady Kahn of San Diego. Brady and Steve go way back since they played and won numerous junior doubles titles, this will be a match up of the last two ncaa champions. Maria lost a tough match today to #13 Zsofi Susanyi Cals #2 player 6-2, 7-6 (7-4), she made a grand comeback after going down 2-4 in the second set to draw to a tie breaker. Outstanding match with Maria using the whole court in staging the comeback, but after going up 4-3 in the breaker she had a twist of faith with 2 double faults and then a missed forehand.
