Last Time Out
After needing to change venues mid-match and succumbing to the first home loss this season against Pacific, UTSA saw weather shut down Sunday’s match with Georgia State. Otherwise, the Roadrunners were riding a three-match home streak since breaking from their month-long road swing. Against the Tigers, UTSA’s Alan Magadan and Miguel Alonso each garnered singles wins. Holding the hot hand on the doubles courts, Magadan and Alonso are on a 4-0 start since a lineup switch this month, while seniors Jackson Ross and Garrett Skelly are 7-3 as the most consistent tandem this season. On the singles courts, Alonso is 9-1 this season with the top record, taking in most of his wins on court six. Just behind on court four, junior Danijal Muminovic is 8-5.
On the Slate this Week
One of the older colleges the Roadrunners will see on a schedule, Dartmouth enters the week at 7-9 under first-year head coach Justin DeSanto. The Big Green saw its match canceled at Prairie View on Thursday and is working through a three-match losing streak, with a 4-0 home win over Bryant snapping four consecutive losses before that. Leading the way for Big Green singles, sophomore Miles Groom is 11-2 with the bulk coming on court four, while junior Alex Knox-Jones is 9-3 with his main position at court six. In doubles, Groom pairs with sophomore Waleed Qadir for a team-leading 7-2 mark on the bottom two doubles courts.
