I know we all tend to focus on the major 3, but this season has been to amazing not to bring up the Men's Tennis team.
This team has been on fire since Gooch came here 4 years ago and they haven't let up. They are currently 15-4 (6-0) on the season and here are their four losses: Duke - ranked #25 - at duke Clemson - ranked #68 - at away tournament BYU - ranked #65 - at away tournament South Carolina - ranked #17 - at USC
We have also beaten: Radford - ranked #57 - at Elon ODU - ranked #69 - at ODU
This Saturday we play Furman, which is a huge Tennis Rivalry, at Elon. This win will pretty much lock up the regular season championship for whoever wins it. So if you live in the area check this team out, they have been on fire and are only getting better.
Also Doubles team Philip Nemec and Damon Gooch are ranked #32 in the nation and Damon Gooch is ranked the #69 in the nation.

Gooch has been a major player for four years. He is a huge talent for Elon and a good guy.
The reason this team runs so well is Coach Leonard. He has done a great recruiting job going international for his players. He then has added some great US talent to make complete teams.
This team should be loaded for some time with Coach Leonard's leadership.

I'm hoping that if we don't win the SoCon Tourny, that we'll still have a chance at an at-large bid! I've yet to attend a tennis match (Men's or Women's) but with the SoCon Tourny at Elon this year, I'm gonna make a better effort to show up and give my support.
