FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Florida Gulf Coast University men’s tennis team picked up three wins over Wichita State Friday on the first day of the Bonita Bay Classic.
 
“Very happy with the way the team competed today,” said head coach Davidson Kozlowski. “With such a young group, we are really focusing on how to conduct and handle ourselves in competition. I’ve seen a ton of growth in this team since our first match back in mid- September.”
 
In doubles, Hugo Magnusson paired with Harry Michalowski to defeat Luke Bracks and Misha Kvantaliani 6-3 and Pablo Paternostro and Ninad Raut won 6-4 against Vanja Hodzic of Wichita State and Diego Cuerto of Virginia Tech.

In singles, Philipp Bosse took care of business against Hodzic with a well-fought 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5) decision. 
 
The Eagles will return to the courts tomorrow to take on Purdue University at 4 p.m.
