Eagles take on Miami and Florida Gulf Coast this weekend
STATESBORO, Ga. – A week removed from being swept in Colorado, the Georgia Southern men's tennis team will continue their road trip to the Sunshine State, where they will compete against the University of Miami and Florida Gulf Coast.
"We are looking forward to playing some tough teams this weekend," Head Coach Sander Koning said. "Both Miami and Florida Gulf Coast are well coached teams and I believe both matches will be decided on how well we execute in critical moments."
The Hurricanes enter play with a 1-2 record, after falling to No. 14 Mississippi State, 5-2, on January 21. Miami had the past weekend off to prepare for the Eagles and the match Friday afternoon will be broadcasted on the ACC Network, as well as ESPN3.
Two Miami players were ranked in the ITA Top-100 players as of November 15, 2017. Bojan Jankulovski (71) and Christian Langmo (78) were ranked inside the Top-80 back in November when preseason ITA Ranking polls were released. The newest poll will be released Wednesday, February 7th.
Following the live broadcasted match on Friday the Eagles will head north to Fort Myers, Florida, where the Eagles of Florida Gulf Coast will await. The Eagles enter play with a 0-4 record falling to UNC Wilmington, BYU, No. 20 Florida State, and ETSU. The Blue and White will be their first home match of the season at the Tennis Complex.
