No. 3 Men's Tennis

No. 1 Men's Tennis Ready for More Sun Conference Challenges this Weekend

With a 3-0 conference record in hand, No. 1 Keiser men's tennis returns to Sun Conference action on Friday and Saturday at home against No. 11 Coastal Georgia and No. 24 SCAD-Savannah.

About the Seahawks
  • The Seahawks are 12-4 on the year after defeating Division II, West Alabama on Wednesday afternoon.
  • It was the second win for Keiser against a Division II opponent after defeating Palm Beach Atlantic earlier this season.
  • Often the first finishers in singles, Martin Carrizo and Soufiane El Mesbahi continue to race off and on the courts as El Mesbahi holds a narrow lead in wins with 14 to Carrizo's 13.

Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "Couple of good matches ahead of us this weekend. Coastal is straight off of a big win and playing some good tennis so we need to make sure we are ready to go out the gate tomorrow. SCAD-Savannah will be another strong opponent on Saturday. Their record is a bit deceptive as they have played a tough schedule to this point. Our energy and intensity will be key tomorrow and Saturday and we have been focused on that all week."
