Wow, this is going to be an amazing tennis tournament for our men!
Held in Athens Georgia!
I found this article telling all about it! It is the oldest collegiate tournament...
"Formerly known as the Southern Collegiates, the tournament originated in 1968 under former Bulldog head coach Dan Magill and is the oldest fall college tournament in America."
Play begins at 8:00 Friday morning! Check out the full story below!

Hi Sly Fox!
We are actually in Chattanooga Tennessee with the Alabama Team, Southern Cup! Great tournament!
I hate that I am missing our men play so close to my home! I can't wait to hear how they are playing! Thanks for asking. I am about to post on the Radford thread on how the ladies did... they had a good day!

Well, I am answering my own question... Check out this link:

This is the complete draw... 9 pages long! What a tournament! As far as I can tell we have one player left in the main draw..Giancarlo Lemmi and he is most likely on the court right now.
Looking at the draw, it looks like our guys fought super hard, close scores and 3 setters.

Hi Everyone... This is BIG TIME and I didn't want you all to miss it...

"Tuus and Vaughan were able to post two victories in the Division II doubles draw, before the tournament faced weather issues. The sophomore and freshman pair first defeated the Middle Tennessee State team of Shaun Waters and Kyle Wishing, 8-4. Next, they faced the seeded team of Charlie Jones and Alex DiValerio of Vanderbilt, and picked up the 8-6 victory"
These men beat Middle Tennessee AND Vanderbilt!!!
Must have been a Fantastic match!!! Great Job Guys!!! :cheerleader

For those of you who don't know, Tennessee is a HUGE tennis state!!!
