FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"I'm extremely happy for the men's team and proud. Despite a tough overall season we have stuck together and kept our culture, which is a sign of resilience and courage. It has been seven long years since we had the opportunity to play Loyola and grateful to their new coach Josh.
"Doubles was huge today with Dean and Mason clinching an amazing match at three. In singles, we swept with Selati and Tejas winning in two routine sets and Ben, Mike, Max, and Benito all winning in three tough sets. Mid-April is when you want to play your best tennis, and we are. We're excited about Navy tomorrow."
