SAY WHAT
"Tonight was a great night for UNF tennis. I can't thank the director of tennis in Jacksonville for stepping up big time and bring out the local clubs around town. It was a great turnout from the UNF community as well. It was a special night for our three seniors. It was a really special night for the whole team. The team competed really well. They played from start to finish against a team that went to the NCAA tournament last year. Thanks to College of Charleston for coming down. Their coach does a great job with their program and being first-class characters. Now we are on to South Alabama on Sunday at noon. We encourage whoever can make it out to support us in a very tough match up." - Head Coach
