Men's Tennis Southern Conference

Terrier men's tennis to host Wofford Invitational Oct. 8, 2004

The Terrier men's tennis team will continue its fall season by hosting the Wofford Invitational tomorrow and Sunday at the Reeves Tennis Center on campus. Southern Conference foe Appalachian State, regional opponent Charlotte and local school USC Upstate will comprise the other teams in the field.

"This tournament should provide some very good opportunities for all the players," said head coach Rod Ray. "The level of the four teams should be very close, and it should be a great test for all. I believe we can become better then we were last year. This tournament is perfect for us, as it will help us to understand where we are by each position. This year's team has a good attitude and work ethic."

The tournament will include separate flights for singles and doubles. There will be eight flights for singles and four for doubles teams. Competition is slated to begin at 10 a.m. tomorrow and 9 a.m. Sunday.

In the Terriers' season-opening tournament, the UTC Steve Baras Fall Classic in Chattanooga, Tenn., senior Brett Johnson (Darnestown, Md.) and freshman Andrew Stubbs (Hilton Head, S.C.) each recorded 3-1 records. Johnson won his singles flight consolation bracket.
