Eduardo Rincon On The Day
"Today was a great day for tennis. The sun was out, there was music and excitment coming from all of our athletic events that were happening on the day. I want to thank all the student-athletes, families and friends that came out to support us. Our guys played hard today, but most importantly, they enjoyed the atmosphere and playing in front of their peers. We will have little time before we play Mercer, so we will get right back to work."

Next Up
The Owls will play host to Mercer on Wednesday (Mar. 2) in a rematch of last week's contest which was postponed due to rain. The dual match will begin in the early afternoon at the Fair Oaks Tennis Complex in Marietta, Ga.
