Men's Tennis Team to Compete at Blue Gray in Alabama This Weekend
February 20, 2019 | Men's Tennis
As they have annually since 2014, the Princeton men's tennis team will head to Montgomery, Ala., for the Blue Gray National Tennis Classic Friday and Saturday.
There, the Tigers will encounter a strong field that includes four ITA top-50 teams, headed by No. 16 Alabama, No. 32 Texas Tech, No. 38 Arizona and No. 48 Mississippi. Alabama is also ranked 20th in the Tennis Channel/USTA top 25.
Teams in the field account for six ITA-ranked singles players, including Princeton's No. 125-ranked Karl Poling, and four ITA-ranked doubles teams, with Princeton's Damian Rodriguez and Ryan Seggerman checking in at No. 27.
The Blue Gray event page, with live scoring, is available here.
The Tigers, at 8-3, are coming off a fourth-place finish at the ECAC Championship last weekend at Penn, and following the trip to Alabama, Princeton will have five matches in New Jersey over two weekends, beginning with College Tennis Night at Centercourt Athletic Club in Chatham, N.J., Friday, March 1 against Wisconsin. Matches in Jadwin against St. John's and NJIT on March 3 and Buffalo and Bryant on March 9 will follow.
Princeton will begin the Blue Gray event against Mississippi at 12:30 p.m. Friday and then face either Alabama or Fresno State, beginning the match later Friday and resuming it Saturday. The Tigers will wrap the event Saturday against one of Auburn, Arizona, Rice or Texas Tech.
