USF Tennis History in the 21st century




(San Francisco,CA)-The University of San Francisco Men's Tennis Team this past April in San Diego,CA finished in Third Place for the 3rd time in 9 years in the West Coast Conference. The Dons finished 3rd in 2003, 2006, and 2009 and narrowly missed a 3rd place finish in 2008 losing a heartbreaking match in the #6 singles match to USD. The Dons look to build upon their success from the 2009 season and carry the momentum. With three Seniors graduating, the Dons look to reload and will be bringing in 4 new student-athletes in the Fall of 09. The Dons schedule for 2009-2010will be unveiled before the end of the summer.
