As the rain and clouds cleared away, the USF Men's Tennis team was able to host the University of Pacific at the beautiful Olympic Club this Saturday afternoon with some great support as the Dons took care of business and now look forward to the WCC Championships. It was Senior Matthew Berry's(Capetown,South Africa) last home match for the Dons and as he has been doing all season he stepped it up at #1 with a win. Great support for the team was shown all around as former players and alumni along with the support of Athletic Director Debbie Gore-Mann were present. A great barbeque and beautiful weather made it another illustrious day for the Green and Gold. As the journey of the 2006-2007 season comes closer to an end, it is important that we must keep the momentum and support of USF Men's Tennis along with Women's Tennis for the future of USF Tennis remains brighter than ever. San Diego,California here we come. Go Dons!!!
