GAINESVILLE, Florida -- The Georgia Southern men's tennis team will look to Alexandros Roumpis and Murphy McCullough to make some noise entering day two of the ITA's Southeastern Regional Championships on the campus of the University of Florida Friday.
Roumpis, a freshman, began the day in the qualification bracket where he fought his way through to qualify for the main draw. He began the day with a bye before a win over Yovan Lambros (FAU) 6-2, 6-3 set up another victory over Harvey Maughan (KSU) 6-2, 6-3 to advance.
McCullough was placed in the main draw from the start.

What Coach Sander Koning had to say:
"It was a tough day, but the guys fought hard and tried to execute what we have been working on. It didn't always go the way we wanted to, but I was pleased with the fight."
