Things looked very bleak for the Georgetown men’s tennis team. They had just come back after a trip down to Florida where they had lost to Lynn University and Barry, two of the best Division II schools in the country. Yet, Head Coach Gordie Ernst stayed optimistic. He would constantly remark that the men “are overdue for a win.”

Tennis Head Coach Gordie Ernst has long been a believer of playing tough non-conference competition to prepare his teams for the rigors of the Big East. The opponents his men’s and women’s teams faced this weekend certainly fell into this category, as the Hoyas were handed a total of four losses.
