PRINCETON, N.J. — For the fifth consecutive season, at least three Ivy League programs punched their tickets to the NCAA Men’s Tennis Championships. This time, a conference-record five Ivy League programs heard their names called on Monday's selection show as Columbia, Cornell, Penn, Princeton, and Yale are all going dancing.
 
It marks the 11^th-straight year and 12^th time in the past 13 seasons that at least two Ivy teams will compete in the NCAA Tournament, and the ninth time overall and eighth in the last 10 seasons that at least three squads earned bids. It also marks the third-consecutive season that at least four teams earned spots.
 
Columbia enters the tournament following a 6-1 record in Ivy League play and a 16-7 overall record as the Lions won a share of Ivy League regular season title for the third-straight season. The Lions will take on St. John's in the opening round.
