State's Ambert Named All-SEC
Ambert, a native of Toulouse, France, becomes only the third Bulldog ever to earn all-SEC honors four times during a career. He was named first-team, all-conference in each of his first three seasons, and second-team this year after missing much of the spring due to an ankle injury and seeing his national ranking drop from No. 4 to No. 35.
A senior and two-time, all-American during his Bulldog career, Ambert is 18-15 overall this year in singles and 15-9 in doubles. His career marks are 97-45 in singles and 68-44 in doubles. Those 165 total wins rank him sixth all-time at MSU for overall victories.
Wednesday's release marks the 15th-consecutive season that State has had at least one student-athlete selected to the all-SEC men's tennis squad.
Ambert and the rest of the Bulldog net squad open play in the SEC Championship Thursday. The 11th-seeded Bulldogs, ranked 39th nationally, meet sixth-seeded and 17th-ranked Tennessee at 11:30 a.m. CT at Vanderbilt's Currey Tennis Complex.
