Sports briefs: UT men's tennis wins; UT baseball's Walla to miss season

COMPILED FROM NEWS AND WIRE REPORTS

COLLEGE TENNIS

UT men win match at North Carolina

The 15th-ranked Texas men's team (5-1) dropped the doubles point but rallied behind five singles victories to post a 5-2 win over No. 17 North Carolina (2-3) Sunday afternoon, on the indoor courts at UNC's Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center at Chapel Hill, N.C.

Lloyd Glasspool defeated North Carolina's Joey Burkhardt 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 at fourth singles to clinch the Longhorns' victory.

This was the Longhorns' first win over an ITA top-20 opponent since April 2010, when Texas defeated then-No. 9 Baylor in Waco. It was also Texas' second win over an ITA top-25 opponent this season.

Texas will resume dual-match play on Friday at 6 p.m. against Texas A&M, in a nonconference match at The Downtown Club at The Met in Houston.

COLLEGE BASEBALL

UT's Walla will miss year with ACL injury

Texas junior outfielder Cohl Walla will miss the season because of an injury to his left anterior cruciate ligament, the university announced Sunday.

SKIING

Mancuso scores 1st super-G win of season

Julia Mancuso's wait for her first win of the season is over. Lindsey Vonn will have to wait a little longer to break another record.

Mancuso won a super-G on Sunday at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, for her first World Cup victory of the season, while Vonn skied off the course and did not finish.

It was the first time two different American women have won World Cup races on consecutive days since December 2006, when it was also Vonn and Mancuso.

Bauman takes super-combined race

Romed Baumann held off a strong challenge from Frenchman Alexis Pinturault to win Sunday's World Cup super-combined race at Chamonix, France, for his second career victory.

Baumann led Pinturault by a comfortable 3.27 seconds after posting the fastest time in the morning's downhill run.
