Slugs Roll to So Cal for weekend matches

Dear Slug Tennis Fans,

We hit the road tomorrow for a two day, four match trip to Southern California which will wrap up our scheduled dual match season. I am very excited about this trip as we will take all our able bodies and hopefully get everyone a chance to play. On Friday we play #9 ranked NAIA Concordia University of Irvine at 10:00am. This match was previously scheduled for 12 but was moved up to accommodate our 3:30 start at Cal Tech. On Saturday we play #8 ranked Pomona Pitzer at 10am before heading off to Chapman University where we hope to get started at 3:00pm.

Pomona Pitzer is having an off the charts good year and represents the biggest challenge to our hosting the NCAA early rounds as the top team from our region. They have beaten several teams this year that they have not beaten for quite some time and are in the top ten in the country for the first time in many years. If you had to pick a match to watch of the four this would be the one. We could certainly use the support and as always it is most appreciated!

The team continues to grow and develop as many of our key players are in there second year and much better appreciate the challenges we face. Senior Brian Pybas has always been a very good big match player and his leadership in singles and doubles will be strongly needed down this stretch run. Erich Koenig continues his breakout season in singles and continues to improve with Sam Rodgers at third doubles. Parker Larsen continues to tighten and strengthen his game which gives him more and more options to go with his strong competitive instincts. Andre Halabi at four has proven more than up to the challenge and continues to add layers of offense to his rock solid foundation. Sam Rodgers continues to improve at an outstanding rate in both singles and doubles as he gets stronger both physically and mentally behind his strong work ethic. Returners Erik Rosner and Ian Stanley will be called on to continue their strong play in doubles and both will be tested on this trip in singles as well. Their maturity has prepared them well for these challenges.

Newcomers Yushi Ayabe and Bryce Bettwy lead the rookies in singles and will be called on to play key matches on this trip along with the returning players. Josh Mason and Chris Goetz will also see matches and I look forward to seeing their improved play put to the test. Both Michael Saria and Jordan Randolf are dealing with injuries but may get the opportunity to play.

Thanks for your support and look for a recap of our trip. Hope to see some of you in So Cal and definitely as the season progresses.

Best wishes, Coach Hansen and Seeberger
