STATESBORO, Ga. – For the final time this fall season the Georgia Southern men's tennis team will compete in the College of Charleston Tournament located in Charleston, South Carolina. The Eagles are excited to continue their successful fall season in Charleston and begin preparation for the spring. The tournament will be a dual format layout, with four teams including the Eagles participating.
 
The field will include College of Charleston, South Carolina State, and East Carolina University.
 
"I always like going to this tournament so late in the fall. It gives us one more opportunity to play against good competition before we head into the spring," said head coach Sander Koning. "The guys have been practicing well and we made some adjustments after our last tournament. I am specifically looking for the team to keep up their focus after a good home tournament and display the mindset we talk about every week."
 
LAST TIME OUT
 
Last time out, the Eagles hosted five schools in their annual Georgia Southern Championships. Three Eagles occupied spots in the semifinals matches on Sunday. Dani Casablancas defeated JC Alcala in the first semifinals match to set up a finals face off with Santiago Suarez. Casablancas would defeat Suarez 6-3, 6-2 to take the singles championships.
