Zieziula Marks Fifth Season at GSU
Georgia Southern's Nick Zieziula begins his fifth season at the helm of the men's tennis program. Zieziula joined the Eagles in the summer of 2010 after serving as an assistant coach at Central Florida for two seasons. Zieziula led the Eagles to one of the greatest turnarounds in program history taking them from a 3-20 record in 2012 to an 11-9 mark in 2013, the first winning season since 2009.
Eagles Add Five to Roster
The Georgia Southern men's tennis team added five student-athletes, three freshmen and two juniors, to the roster. Daniel Casablancas (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya) and Ristomatti Lanne (Lander University) both transferred to Georgia Southern while Joan Carles Alcala Llinares, Jose Eduardo Landin Lopez and Pradeep Raja join the Eagles after successful high school careers.
