FORT MYERS, Fla. -
Hugo Magnusson was named to the Atlantic Sun Conference Preseason All-ASUN team, the conference announced Tuesday.
"We are very excited for the spring season, and to have Hugo leading us at the top," said head coach
Josh Molino. "His work ethic and tenacity, both on and off the court, have put him among the top players not only in the Atlantic Sun, but among mid-majors across the country. This year's talent pool in the ASUN is as deep as it's ever been, and earning a spot on the preseason team is a well-deserved honor."
The junior from Helsingborg, Sweden is coming off an outstanding 2024–25 season, highlighted by a unanimous selection to the All-ASUN First Team. Magnusson competed in 25 singles matches from the No. 1 position, posting a 13-9 record and earning a marquee straight-sets victory over Florida's Henry Jefferson, who was ranked No. 106 nationally. In doubles play, Magnusson appeared in 26 matches at the No. 1 spot alongside partners
CJ Smith and
Jonathan Baron, finishing with a 13-10 record.
During the fall season, Magnusson continued his strong play, recording a 10-5 singles mark and a 9-4 doubles record with partners
Gustav Hasslegren,
Pablo Paternostro, and
Stefan Correa. His top performance came at the Bedford Cup, hosted by Florida State, where he advanced to the semifinals in both singles and doubles competition.
