QUOTING HEAD COACH BRYAN MORROW
"We concluded our fall season for most of the team, except for George.  The tournament went really well with good tennis and a beautiful day for it.  George and Sam won which we are super proud of.  They played well as a pair and we had some other really good wins.  Overall, the guys had a great tournament with great energy and chemistry.  We are looking forward to getting to work and getting ready for January."
