Coach Pate says...
"Probably the most pleasant and gratifying improvement on our team has been the emergence of Sammy as a consistent singles player for us. As his confidence has grown Sammy has continued to show signs of being one of the top singles players in college tennis. He is immensely gifted in all areas and has a very difficult style to play against. There's a strong chance he will compete for a spot in the top half of our line-up as we begin the spring campaign."
