Bulldogs Continue Non-Conference Slate

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel men's tennis team will continue its non-conference road swing this weekend as it plays three matches in two days.
 
In the first match of the weekend, the Bulldogs will face Georgia Gwinnett at 10 a.m. The reigning NAIA National Champions will face USC-Aiken on Friday for their spring season opener before facing the Bulldogs at the GGC Tennis Facility. The Grizzlies' lead the all-time series between the schools 1-0. Georgia Gwinnett finished the 2015 season with a 16-2 record and a 10-0 mark at home.
 
In the afternoon match, the Bulldogs will take on Point University in a neutral site contest. The Skyhawks finished the season with a 13-10 mark last season. The match is set to begin at 4 p.m.
 
The Citadel wraps up the busy weekend with a 1 p.m. contest at Brevard. This will be just the second contest of the season for the Tornadoes who completed the 2015 spring slate with a 4-13 record. First-year head coach Evan Schreiner's squad will have limited experience as four of the six athletes on the team are freshmen.
 
The Bulldogs earned their first win of the 2016 season this past weekend after defeating Spartanburg Methodist 7-0. The Citadel swept all six single matches and won two of the three doubles matchups in the contest. The Bulldogs have had a challenging schedule thus far into the season with three of the first four matches coming against opponents ranked in the ITA top-100.
 
Full results of all three contests will be available at CitadelSports.com.
