ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Saint Joseph's men's tennis team wrapped up its second fall weekend at the Joe Hunt Invitational hosted by the U.S. Naval Academy on Sunday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED
• Inigo Diaz reached the championship match of the Purple Singles draw, but fell to an opponent from George Mason.

• On the doubles side, Diaz and Nassim Fenjiro teamed up to win their final match, 6-1, over a duo from the host Midshipmen.

HAWK TALK
"It was a solid tournament overall for us; we played at a much higher level than we did last weekend and it was honestly a very positive three days for us down at Navy," head coach Marc Pibernat said.  "A special mention to our freshman Inigo Diaz, who had an amazing weekend reaching the final of his flight by winning three very good matches and also playing good doubles with Nassim.

"There are still things we can definitely improve, but this is just the beginning for us and this past three days I feel like the team reached another level.  It was very unfortunate that Justus Agbo twisted his ankle in Saturday's first singles match and had to pull out. He was playing great tennis but he will be back stronger.  The team will have an off day tomorrow and Tuesday we will start preparing for our invitational tournament."

UP NEXT
The Hawks will host the annual Saint Joseph's Invitational at the SJU Tennis Complex beginning on Friday afternoon.
