USC Advances to NCAA Final; UCLA Is Beaten : College tennis: The Trojans sweep past Texas, 5-0, and will face Georgia, which defeated the Bruins, 5-4, in a match lasting nearly seven hours.

USC reached the finals of the NCAA men’s tennis championship for the second time in three years with a 5-0 victory over Texas, and Georgia swept the three doubles matches to upset UCLA, 5-4, in semifinal matches Monday at Athens, Ga.

In posting their second consecutive shutout, the top-seeded Trojans did not lose a set in the five completed matches against the Longhorns, getting victories from Brian MacPhie, Wayne Black, Jon Leach, Andras Lanyi and Adam Peterson.

“They’re so confident, they feel like they’re not going to lose to anybody,” said Trey Phillips, Texas’ No. 2 singles player. “Someone, somewhere down the line has instilled confidence. Every one of their guys could play at the top of the lineup.”

UCLA’s 6-hour 54-minute match was delayed because of rain for 70 minutes, then moved indoors. Jason Sher, Davide Sanguinetti and Robert Janecek gave the second-seeded Bruins a 3-0 lead with singles victories. Georgia won the next two matches, but Matt Quinlan gave UCLA (24-3) a 4-2 lead heading into the doubles.

The third-seeded Bulldogs (26-3) tied the match by winning at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles and won when Wade McGuire and Bobby Mariencheck, college tennis’ top-rated doubles team, defeated Janecek and Sebastien LeBlanc, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, at No. 1 doubles, in a match ending at 12:54 a.m. EDT.
