   Rebels Drop 4-2 Thriller In Mississippi Cup Friday,

JACKSON, Miss. - In a nearly six-hour battle between two of the
top teams in the nation, the No. 12 ranked Ole Miss men's tennis
team fell behind 3-0 to No. 10 Mississippi State in the 16th
annual Mississippi Cup at River Hills Club, then saved seven
match points to make it interesting, before the Bulldogs closed
it out with a three-set win at four for the 4-2 victory.  The
loss gives State their second straight win in the Mississippi
Cup and their fourth in a row overall.   Ole Miss had won 26
straight in the series and 10 in a row in the Cup before State
won the regular season meeting two years ago to begin the
streak.  Four of the matches went three sets, and unfortunately
for the Rebels, three of them went to State, including the
clincher at No. 4, when Bulldog freshman Jordan Angus topped
Rebel junior Johan Backstrom 4-6, 6-1
