"Overall, I was pleased that we improved from one week to the next," head coach Jeff Zinn said. "Our conditioning and fitness is not where it should be and we will address that in these next two weeks. Christos played well all 3 days as did Alp. Our freshmen are getting a quick inauguration to college tennis and how difficult it is. They will get better and hopefully we will see improvement at Regionals in a couple of weeks."
The Nittany Lions will travel to Tulsa, Okla. next for the ITA All-American Championships, Oct. 10-13.
