Princeton Has A Big Friday At ITA Regionals
October 18, 2024 | Men's Tennis
Princeton is competing this weekend at Penn, and through Friday at least, the Tigers have been sizzling, in both singles and doubles.
Princeton had 11 players who competed Friday. Now, as the team heads into Saturday's matches, there are 10 who are still going strong in one or both draws.
"We had a strong day with several guys having success. It was great to start the day with five doubles wins and then winning eight of 11 singles matches," head coach Billy Pate said. "It's a busy day tomorrow with a round of singles and two rounds of doubles so we'll need to be physically and mentally engaged from the start."
