ATHENS, Ga. – Junior Vaughn Hunter earned his first singles win as a Bulldog, after the Mississippi State men's tennis team wrapped up day one of the Southern Intercollegiate.
“I am happy that our guys got some good action in today and overall I think it was a good day,” head coach Matt Roberts said. “I had fun watching Vaughn, Lucas and Trevor begin their Bulldog careers and this weekend should be a good indicator of what things we need to work on with them.”
Hunter defeated Nicolas Guillon of Mercer, 0-6, 6-3, 6-3 to advance to the round of 32, before losing to top-seeded Wayne Montgomery of Georgia 6-2, 6-4.
