Eagles Shine at Pelican Bay to Close Out Fall Season

NAPLES, Fla. – The Florida Gulf Coast University men's tennis team wrapped up the fall season at the Pelican Bay Collegiate Invitational Nov. 14-15, turning in strong results against Barry and Boston College at the Pelican Bay Community Center.

How It Happened
vs BARRY
The Eagles earned four singles victories, highlighted by comeback wins from Gustav Hasslegren, Stefan Correa, and Harry Michalowski, while CJ Smith secured a super-tiebreaker win to finish singles play. FGCU then swept all three doubles matches with victories from Correa/Hugo Magnusson, Jonathan Baron/Hasslegren, and Smith/Michalowski.

vs BOSTON COLLEGE
FGCU claimed three singles wins, led by Magnusson in a super-tiebreak, a straight-set win from Baron, and a dominant performance by Pablo Paternostro. The Eagles again impressed in doubles, earning wins from Baron/Hasslegren, Correa/Magnusson, Smith/Michalowski, and Paternostro/Mai Gao (BC) to close out the weekend.

Coach's Corner
Head Coach Josh Molino - "It was an excellent 2 days of competition against Boston College and Barry. The Eagles played very well, going undefeated in doubles and 7-6 in singles. Back to back weekends is difficult at any point in the season and our guys handled it really well. The next two months, we will focus on making some improvements in a few areas, physically, technically and mentally and will be ready for the opening weekend in Orlando for January. A big thanks to the Pelican Bay Foundation, their staff and members for an awesome weekend!"

What's Next
The Eagles will take a break from competition over the next two months. The team returns to action Jan. 10 as they travel to Orlando, Fla. to take on Louisiana.
