McDonald, Collins take NCAA men's, women's tennis titles

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Mackenzie McDonald became the first player in 15 years to pull off a double national championship.

About four hours after he upset top-seeded Mikael Torpegaard of Ohio State 6-3, 6-3, to win the NCAA men's singles title, McDonald and UCLA teammate Martin Redlicki beat Arthur Rinderknech and Jackson Withrow of Texas A&M to claim the doubles championship Monday.

Earlier, Danielle Collins of Virginia defeated top-seeded Hayley Carter of North Carolina 6-3, 6-2 for her second NCAA women's tennis national championship.

McDonald is the first player since Matias Boeker of Georgia in 2001 (and fifth since 1974) to win both titles.
