Men's Tennis Southern Conference

Wofford Men's Tennis to Play in the Steve Baras Memorial Fall Classic

Coming off a solid performance at the season opening Gardner-Webb Tournament two weeks ago, the Wofford men's tennis team will travel to
Chattanooga, Tenn., this weekend for the Steve Baras Memorial Fall Classic. Serving as host for the tournament will be fellow SoCon institution, Chattanooga.

With both of last season's captains (Jason Mengel and Brandon Smith) returning along with all but one of the starters from a year ago, the outlook for this season has promise to be a good year.

"The leadership and chemistry of this team is the best we have ever had," said head coach Rod Ray. "Alex Fridzon, a projected freshman
starter, is doing an excellent job of adjusting and molding with the team. The guys are really working hard and doing what they're supposed
to with great attitudes. To date, I am very impressed and pleased with this group of young men. With the level of play becoming increasingly
tough in the Southern Conference, each team has to work just as hard to keep up. Hopefully, we are doing more than our share keeping up with
the pack, but only time will tell. The league is so competitive, but right now, I am very pleased and this weekend's tournament will certainly tell us if our hard work is paying off."

Wofford will battle various singles and doubles schools from all over the Southeast this weekend and in three more fall tournaments before opening its match play competition in January at Stetson.
