Maloney, Nino Ehrenschneider and Andrew Fenty all secured victories in the singles portion of the day, and the Wolverines knocked off the Longhorns, 4-2.

Michigan is now in the Elite Eight and will face arch-rival Ohio State for a spot in the Final Four. The Wolverines and Buckeyes have met three times this season, with Michigan taking two of the three meetings.
