Aaron [Eliscu] had another impressive tournament. His results are matching the effort he puts on the practice court and he’s playing some of his best tennis. We’re excited to see him compete at regionals this week. As a coach, it’s great to see your younger guys compete while continuing to figure out ways for them to get better.Assistant Coach Jurgen De Jager
The Mustangs now head to the ITA Southwest Regionals in Tempe, Ariz., from Oct. 16-21, where they will face some of the toughest competition in the region, including potential matchups with other Big West players.
