FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Florida Gulf Coast University men's tennis team closes out its fall season by hosting the Pelican Bay Collegiate Invitational this Friday and Saturday (Nov. 14-15) at the Pelican Bay Community Center in Naples, Fla.. The Eagles will go up against the Barry Buccaneers and the Boston College Eagles.

Coming off a great outing at the Bonita Bay Collegiate Open, the Eagles aim to finish the fall season on a high note. At the Bonita Bay Collegiate Open, FGCU was highlighted by dominant singles and doubles play. Against Drake, the Eagles rolled with straight-set wins from Hugo Magnusson and Mika Bunjes, a three-set battle won by Pablo Paternostro, and convincing victories from Harry Michalowski, Stefan Correa, Jonathan Baron, Gustav Hasslegren, and CJ Smith, while sweeping all eight doubles matches. Magnusson and Tanner Povey carried that momentum into the matchup with Florida Atlantic, earning key singles wins as Hasslegren and Magnusson, along with Bunjes and Smith, sealed tight doubles victories. FGCU closed the weekend with a hard-fought effort versus South Florida, where Correa provided the standout moment with a comeback win in a super tiebreak.
