Old Dominion
The Monarchs are off to a 3-0 start after recording dual match wins against NC State (6-1), Richmond (6-1) and Howard (7-0) last weekend. ODU won a total of 17 of the possible 18 singles matches last week. Old Dominion is led by No. 24 Adam Moundir, who was named Conference USA Player of the Week after going 3-0 in singles, while taking down two nationally ranked players in the process.
Watch first year ODU head coach Dominik Mueller talk about last week’s success, look ahead to this weekend, as well as discuss Moundir as C-USA Player of the Week.
Harvard
Harvard finished the 2015-16 season with a 16-11 record in dual match play, including a 10-4 mark at Murr Center. The Crimson narrowly missed a bid to the NCAA Tournament, notching a 5-6 record against teams ranked in the top 40 of the ITA rankings.
Furman
Furman returns five players from last season’s team that posted a 13-11 overall record and a 5-2 mark in Southern Conference play. Junior Cameron Green and senior Adam Steryous were named to the All-Southern Conference first team for singles last spring and to the All-SoCon second team at No. 2 doubles to lead the Paladins.
San Francisco
Picked to finish 7th in the WCC polls, San Francisco will take on Harvard for the first time since 1981 in men’s tennis. Three men new to the squad in 2016 – Oliver Poysti, Paul Giraud and Johan Joenhagen – joined returning players Ryan Marker and Woravin Kumthonkittikul in fall singles play.
