FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU men's tennis team concludes non-conference play Sunday with a noon match against the #46 Princeton Tigers. The Eagles (5-8) look to build upon last week's victory as the Green and Blue aim for a fifth title in four seasons.
 
Admission remains free for all home matches. Fans are encouraged to bring their own seating as bleacher seating is limited.

DEFENDING THE NEST
FGCU's success at home has been a vital aspect of the program's success under head coach CJ Weber. Since the 2012-13 season, Weber's second in Southwest Florida, the Eagles are 41-20 at the FGCU Tennis Complex. During that stretch, the Green and Blue have posted winning records in all but one of those seasons, including a 7-1 record in 2014-15 and a 9-0 mark in 2015-16.
 
This season, the Eagles are 5-2 at home. FGCU finishes with four of the final six matches at home.

SCOUTING THE TIGERS
Entering the weekend 14-7, Princeton checks in at #46 in the latest ITA rankings. The Tigers have posted winning records at every position except No. 1. Luke Gamble has posted a 16-11 record throughout the season including an 11-7 record in dual matches. Davey Roberts has tallied 17 wins this season, 11 in dual play.

In doubles, the pairing of Luke Gamble and Damian Rodriguez are 9-4 from the No. 1 spot while Payton Holden and Ryan Saggerman are 11-4 at No. 2.

This will be the first-ever meeting between FGCU and Princeton.

LAST TIME OUT
FGCU ended a mini two-game losing skid with a 4-3 win over Illinois State last Saturday. The Eagles claimed the doubles point for the third-straight match and claimed the victory when Mateo Ruiz (Bucaramanga, Colombia/Oklahoma State) won in three sets at No. 5.
 
CJ WEBER
FGCU is led by CJ Weber who has coached 26 ASUN All-Conference selections since joining the Green and Blue in 2011. In his sixth year, Weber has compiled a 78-64 (.549) overall record and a 29-15 (.694) record in ASUN play. In 2014-15, Weber guided the Eagles to their first-ever ASUN Championship and first-ever ASUN Regular Season title after a program-best 17 wins. In his third season, Weber led Jordi Vives to a No. 35 national ranking, a nation-leading 14-match unbeaten streak and the round of 32 in the 2014 NCAA Tournament - the program's first appearance. The Eagles completed consecutive perfect ASUN seasons in 2016 and back-to-back conference titles as well as a second-straight Coach of the Year honor for Weber. FGCU again won the ASUN Championship in 2017, advancing to its second NCAA Tournament.
