Nice win for Men’s Tennis

The No. 24 Alabama men's tennis team (13-8, 2-3 SEC) captured a pair of commanding wins on Sunday, defeating No. 25 Florida (8-8, 2-4 SEC) 5-2 in a Southeastern Conference matchup before securing a 7-0 sweep against Alabama A&M (4-7).
Alabama swept the doubles point in both matches as the UA pairings of No. 74 Filip Planinsek and Andrii Zimnokh as well as Enzo Aguiard and Zach Foster recorded wins over Florida and Planinsk and Matic Dimic in addition to Foster and Zimnokh posted victories against Alabama A&M.
In singles action, Zimnokh, Matias Ponce De Leon and Matic Dimic recorded wins in both matches. Roan Jones tallied a victory against Florida, while Aguiard, Foster and Yair Sarouk added wins to UA's sweep against Alabama A&M.
From Head Coach George Husack
"This was a weekend of response that began Friday night during the singles and continued throughout the next 48 hours. There was a good vibe at practice on Saturday as the guys didn't let the South Carolina nailbiter impact their preparation for today. Our start in doubles was really good and then we needed to keep our focus when rain forced us inside. We had some tight matches up and down the lineup and the guys showed their willingness to compete. Super response by Roan this afternoon after Friday night as well as Matic who came back in his three-set clincher. Matias and Andrii both bounced back with impressive performances this weekend after our UGA, Vandy road trip. Zach, Enzo and Filip played solid doubles while Yair found his rhythm and rolled this evening. And finally, after a tough match against Florida another positive response tonight against Alabama A&M. Very proud of them and their effort. Being at home with our fans was a treat too."

From Head Coach Margo Geer
"I'm proud of the team and their effort all week. This group did a great job of being resilient through the ups and downs of the competition. There was so much growth from our freshmen. I'm also very grateful for our upperclassmen – Avery, Diana, Liberty (Williams), Kailyn and Jocelyn (Fisher); it was great to see the team's hard work rewarded. I appreciate the staff and their support this season, and I'm excited for the men's meet next week."

Tied with SMU, where associate head coach Oswaldo Quevedo went. SMU didn't score a single point last year and in 1 year is equal to us.
Charlie has had a solid meet. Went a tad slower in finals, but moved up a couple spots. Had a great swim this morning in 200 free, seeded 4th tonight. Meanwhile a Margo runoff athlete dropped the fastest 50 breast relay split in history and is seeded first going into finals tonight for the 100 breast.
And former bama swimmer, grad transfer to nyu med school, derek maas got robbed of d3 swimmer of the meet. Won all of his 3 events, yet they gave it to someone else

For the first time in program history, Alabama had two swimmers earn All-America honors in the men's 200 freestyle as Charlie Hawke tallied first-team accolades and Kaique Alves picked up second-team honors. The duo highlighted the third day of competition at the NCAA Men's Swimming and Diving Championships as Hawke captured a fourth-place finish and Alves finished ninth.
Hawke posted a time of 1:30.58 to finish fourth in the event, tallying his third overall All-America honor at the meet and second first-team nod following a fifth-place finish in the 500 freestyle on Thursday.

Alves earned a Second Team All-America selection in the 200 freestyle. He used a career-best time of 1:31.68 to take the top time in the B finals and finish ninth overall. Alves also picked up second-team honors earlier in the week, swimming the 800 freestyle relay, alongside Hawke, on Wednesday.
