STATESBORO, Ga. – After sweeping last weekend's matches at home, the men's tennis team is looking to continue its streak this weekend. The Eagles will host Gardner-Webb, ABAC, and Stetson, in the final three matches of this six match home stand. On Friday the blue and white will compete in a doubleheader consisting of Gardner-Webb at 10:30 a.m. and ABAC at 3:00 p.m. They will conclude the weekend hosting Stetson at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
 
"We are coming off a good weekend and the team is eager to play," head coach Sander Koning said. "We will play three good teams.
