Georgia Southern Hosts GS Championship Meet Nov. 1-3
GAINESVILLE, Florida – The Georgia Southern men's tennis team put up a valiant effort on day two of the ITA Regional championships on Friday on the campus of the University of Florida.
Both Murphy McCullough and Alexandros Roumpis lost in the first match of the main draw but will play consolation matches Saturday. Both doubles pairing were also ousted on Friday.
What coach Sander Koning had to say:
"Today was a tough day. We saw some good level talent and the guys fought hard. Unfortunately, we didn't get the result we wanted. Both doubles matches came down to a couple of points. Alex played well in singles but had a little dip in the second set. It was a good learning opportunity to play a nationally ranked player."
"I saw a lot of good things and I believe we are doing the right things. We have to keep pounding the stone."
Friday's singles results:
Chase Ferguson (USF) def. Alexander Roumpis vs 6-7, 3-6
Mateo Reyes (UGA) def. Murphy McCullough 2-6, 1-6
Friday's doubles results:
Nahrung/Thongoana (FSU) def. Roumpis/Finkelstein vs 7-8 (3)
Dunlap/Jankulovski (Miami) def. McCullough/Wagemaker vs 5-8
ITA consolation matches will conclude Saturday before the team returns home for the Georgia Southern Championship Meet Nov. 1-3 to close out the fall.
