Final ResultsĀ
Louisville, KY. --Ā The Kennesaw State men's tennis team wrapped up play at the Louisville Invitational on Sunday after a three-day event in Kentucky.
The tournament opened outdoors on Friday but was forced indoors for the final two-and-a-half days due to weather.
"Overall, we had a good weekend in Louisville," Assistant Coach
Simon Pritchard said. "It was good for the team to travel north and play some teams we have never played before. Two of our newcomers, Seru and Badola, had particularly good weekends. They both were excellent all weekend and it really showed in their results. Both going 5-2 combined in singles against such high caliber opponents was great to see."
Newcomers
Mritunjay Badola and
Seru Tezuka paced the Owls in singles action. After falling in his opening match, Badola collective three consecutive wins including a 6-3, 1-6, 10-2 over Taisei Miamoto of Belmont in the consolation final of Flight D.
