STATESBORO - The Georgia Southern men's tennis team, under the direction of first-year head coach Andrew Goodwin, opens up the Fall portion of its 2023-24 campaign on Friday through Sunday in Charlotte, N.C.
The Eagles will be taking part in the Charlotte Invitational at the Halton-Wagner Tennis Complex. In addition to Georgia Southern and Charlotte, Elon, UNC Asheville.
Georgia Southern defeated Charlotte, 4-2, on March 11th of last season during the dual match season. The Eagles did not face either Elon or UNC Asheville last year.
Georgia Southern will be sending eight players to the tournament, all returners from last season's squad that went 15-8 overall and achieved a high national ranking of No. 69 in the ITA Division I Men's Tennis Team Rankings, sponsored by Tennis Point.
Participating for the Eagles this weekend will be: juniors Alex Amacher, Pol del Castillo, Laurent Julia Calac, Dimitris Paliouras and Alex Suk as well as sophomores Matthew Mitchell, Pierre Mouesca and Aaron James Williams.
"A lot of this Fall, especially in the beginning of the semester, has been about establishing our identity as a team," Coach Goodwin said. "I want to see the guys commit to that in a competitive situation they'll see in Charlotte. I want to see if they have the confidence in the daily work they've been putting in to do this, and know that the work they've been putting in every day is enough to achieve the results they want this weekend."
