The Omaha men's tennis team is at the half way point of their fall season. Playing in two Drake Invites and the ITA All-American Championships.
"Overall, I think we learned a lot about who we are and where we stand from the fall season. I know all the guys have a couple areas that they want to improve on in our non-competition segment, so we are looking forward to getting to work on those things right away," Omaha head coach Matt Barlow said. "I believe if we can improve a couple of our weaknesses individually and as a team, we can be very competitive in the spring"
While there is always room for improvement, there has been no shortage of positives so far this fall season for the Mavericks.
