DES MOINES, Iowa – The 27th-rated Drake men's tennis team learned its draw for the NCAA Championship on Tuesday (April 30) and the Bulldogs (24-3 overall) garnered an at-large berth to the 64-team field and a date with No. 35 TCU (18-9 overall) on May 10 at 12:00 p.m. CT at the Los Angeles Tennis Center on the campus of UCLA in Los Angeles, Calif.
The tournament selection is the seventh for Drake in program history and the sixth in the last eight campaigns.
