Baris Becomes First Spartan to Reach NCAA Semifinal

MSU sophomore Ozan Baris, a native of Okemos, Mich., is the first Spartan to ever earn entry the NCAA Singles Championships semifinals after a commanding 6-4, 6-1 win over Ohio State’s Jack Anthrop on Thursday. Baris, the No. 8 seed in the 64-player championships, took control of the match early, earning the first two breaks in the first set and bouncing out to a 3-1 lead. Anthrop would claim a few games back, but the national No. 30 never led in the match.
