 Coach Bonnell's Outlook
"Our team has been practicing very hard and I am really happy with what I am seeing so far. Now, we get to up the pressure level and compete against other schools. That pressure is where we learn what we've really got, and what we need to do to get to the next level. It's awesome to have nine different teams competing this weekend. There will be 64 athletes in total. It will be a great weekend of tennis and we are excited to have fans from all of these great schools. We can't wait to get the competition portion of our season underway."
Up Next
The Falcons will travel to Indianapolis, Indiana where they are set to compete in the IUPUI Fall Invitational. The invitational will run from Friday, Sept. 29 through Sunday, Oct. 1 matches to start at 9 a.m.
