University Park, Pa. – In its first tournament of the fall season, Penn State men's tennis will travel to Princeton, N.J. for the Farnsworth-Ivy Plus Tournament from September 20-22
The Nittany Lions will take four players to the tournament including senior Christos Antonopoulos, senior Gabriel Nemeth, junior Alp Sentay and freshman Chikaya Sato.
Antonopoulos and Sentay both traveled with the team to the tournament in the fall of 2017, the last time the Blue and White took part in the contest.
Antonopoulos had the most success, advancing to the semifinals of singles competition and finishing third in his own respective draw.
Other teams at the tournament will include Brown, Buffalo, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Indiana, Kentucky, Miami (FL), Michigan, Michigan State, Penn, Princeton, Tennessee, Texas, William & Mary and Yale.
"I have always liked playing this tournament because all the teams in the Ivy league play the event in addition to selected schools around the country," head coach Jeff Zinn said. "The competition level is quite high for a season opening tournament and I'm interested in seeing how the four players we are taking will fair. Hopefully this will get the rust off some players and allow them to have a competitive fall season."
