TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama men's tennis team will look to remain perfect on the 2018 season when it takes on Samford at 1 p.m. and Chattanooga at 6 p.m. Saturday inside the Roberta Alison Baumgardner Tennis Facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The Crimson Tide has started the season by winning its first four matches, the best start by the program since the 2008 season when the Tide started the year 7-0.
In its four matches this season, Alabama has only conceded one singles point, compiling a 14-1 singles record, while going 10-0 in doubles matches.
Sophomore Edson Ortiz leads the team with a 3-0 singles record, while the freshmen duo of Sam Fischer and Grant Stuckey are tops on the squad with a 3-0 mark in doubles play.
Samford will play its first match of its 2018 campaign on Saturday. The Bulldogs are coming off a 2017 season where they finished with a 7-12 record and fell in the first round of their conference tournament. Meanwhile, Chattanooga dropped its first match of the season to Middle Tennessee, 7-0 and will take on Lee University tonight at 6 p.m.
