Eagles play tough in first day of the Southeast Regional Tournament
STATESBORO, Ga. – Friday morning the Eagles began day one of the ITA Southeast Regional Tournament. The Blue and White had five guys in the qualifying draw. Eddie Landin, Murphy McCullough, and Artemie Amari all defeated their first opponents of the day with Amari winning both his matches.
Doubles play will begin tomorrow morning with three Eagles teams in action at Georgia Tech. JC Alcala and Stefano Di Aloy will play together, while Artemie Amari and Murphy McCullough, and Diego Finkelstein and Eddie Landin will take to the courts at 2:00 p.m.
WHAT HEAD COACH SANDER KONING SAID
"We had some solid performances from our guys. Unfortunately, we don't always get the win. Artemie played both matches really well and was able to come from behind in the second match which is always a good experience to have. Murphy came out aggressive and never let his opponent into the match. Diego played a little up and down the first match, but was able to secure the win. In his second match he fought hard, but played a couple of loose points in the third set and his opponent took advantage of it. Tomorrow will be a long day and our focus will be tested. We will have some good matches and we are looking forward to the competition."
