After a successful fall season, the Penn men's tennis team was on a quest this spring to prove it belongs among the nation's elite.

It was a roller coaster affair Sunday evening at World Cafe Live - a far cry from the last two years, when Penn's seeding in the NCAA Tournament was quick and painless, over within a few minutes.
