Mar 31, 2022 | Men's Tennis
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The No. 24 Texas A&M men's tennis team challenges Alabama at 6 p.m. (CT) Friday at the Alabama Tennis Stadium. The Aggies enter the match at 17-9 on the season and 4-2 in league play while the Crimson Tide are 6-14 this spring and 0-6 in conference matches.
"We are very interested to see how our team responds to that big win last Sunday against Georgia," head coach Steve Denton said. "Our spirits are definitely up from our last road trip. Alabama is very young, but a very capable and well-coached squad. We will need to be alert and energetic to come away with the victory. It is never easy in our conference as everyone has very good players. We should be in store for a fun one."
The Maroon & White return to action after picking up a 4-3 victory over No. 8 Georgia and 6-1 triumph over UTSA Sunday at the Mitchell Tennis Center. In the A&M victory over the Bulldogs, A&M picked up four singles wins from courts three through six. A&M's Giulio Perego earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors after claiming a last-match standing over No. 104 Trent Bryde to secure the team victory.
