TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The No. 8 Texas A&M men's tennis team faces Florida State in the Aggies' first away match of the season on Friday at the Scott Speicher Memorial Tennis Center. First serve is set for 4 p.m.

The Aggies (5-0) are coming off two back-to-back victories against Tennessee, 4-1, and Duke, 4-2, at ITA Kickoff Weekend, where the team punched its ticket to ITA National Indoors. Sophomore Theo Papamalamis was crucial for the team's successful weekend, striking first in singles action in both matches. Both wins were in straight sets, claiming his first ranked victory of the season against then No. 121 Alejandro Moreno of Tennessee.

The No. 33 doubles tandem of Kholo Montsi and Alex Frusina have been a steady force for the Maroon & White, with a 3-0 start to dual action at the second line. The duo was first paired up against Elon and have not dropped a match since. Â
