TULSA, Okla. - Georgia Southern wrapped up action at the 2023 ITA Men's All-American Championships as four Eagles competed in singles action at the University of Tulsa's Michael D. Case Tennis Center over the weekend.

The Eagles' four student-athletes - senior Judson Blair, juniors Pol del Castillo, Dimitris Paliouras and sophomore Pierre Mouesca - all competed in pre-Qualifying action trying to earn a spot in the singles main draw later this week.

Paliouras highlighted the Eagles' play on the weekend, making it to the Round of 64 with a pair of singles wins. He defeated Moritz Hoffmann of the University of San Francisco, 6-4, 6-2, in his first-round match, then upended Welsh Hotard of LSU, 5-7, 6-2, 6-2, on Saturday evening. His weekend came to an end with a 6-2, 6-0 loss to the sixth-seeded Enrique Luque Rico of UC Irvine on Sunday morning.

"Coming to play at the ITA All-Americans in Tulsa is one of the most exciting moments of the year," Georgia Southern head men's tennis coach Andrew Goodwin said. "I saw clear jumps from our first weekend of competition. I am continuing to see a full buy-in on what we want to be as competitors and as a team. This is a tough group of men who are only to get tougher."

The Eagles will return to action on October 6-9, competing at the Mercer Classic in Macon, Ga.
