Men's tennis picks up five singles matches on Sunday
Full Results
WINSTON- SALEM, N.C.- The Georgia Southern men's tennis team wrapped up the Wake Forest Invite on a high note, winning all of its singles matches on Sunday. Junior Christian Kerrigan snatched the consolation trophy in the D2 Singles draw after defeating Evan Watkins from Davidson while Marvin Spiering claimed the third-place title in the the C2 bracket.
Although the Eagles won all five singles matches on the final day in North Carolina, two doubles pairs— freshmen Andre Johnson and Spiering (C1 Flight) and Nico de Groof and Eddie Landin (B1 Flight)- lost in their respective main-draw finals.

WHAT HEAD COACH SANDER KONING SAID
"We unfortunately lost the doubles final of Eddie (Landin) and Nico (de Groof), but everybody finished the tournament strong by winning their last singles match. Overall, I think we made progress as a team, but also individually. The guys were able to execute their games better than in the past few tournaments. Their mindset was better after things didn't go their way. They stayed focused on the task at hand. We still have a way to go, but we are going in the right direction."

Next weekend, the Eagles suit up one last time in the fall to compete in the College of Charleston Invite in South Carolina.
