Quote from Coach

"It's always great when you have players competing for titles on the last day of a tournament.  Kudos to Alex and Carlos for their teamwork, communication and stepping up in big moments to win their doubles flight vs. a worthy adversary in Villanova.  
 
Alex had himself a massive weekend in singles and doubles and for his second tournament of his Marist career did an outstanding job.
 
"Overall, I'm pleased with how the team competed and most importantly how the team is gelling and beginning to really trust each other. We have five new players and five returning and they are making very good progress at this early juncture of the season.", said Deepak Sharma, Men's Assistant Coach.
