Rockets Lift Off for Purdue Invitational

Toledo, Ohio – The University of Toledo men's tennis team will hit the road for the Purdue Fall Invitational on Friday-Sunday, Oct. 5-7. Matches will be held at Schwartz Tennis Center in West Lafayette, Ind.

"We cannot wait to see our guys play in a different environment under a different format," head coach Al Wermer said. "They will have the chance to advance round-by-round — whether front or back draw, singles or doubles, and go through the ups and downs of three long days."

The Rockets will face a spectrum of challengers from this weekend's playing field of teams including Army, Olivet Nazarene, Butler, IUPUI, Cardinal Stritch, DePaul, Green Bay, Niagara, Marquette, Ball State, Cleveland State, Purdue Northwest, Chicago State, Illinois State, Purdue, and Wright State.

The Rockets return to the court after a successful weekend of hosting the Rocket Invitational, where they swept Cleveland State and fared well in matches against Youngstown State and Duquesne.

Junior Danilo Vukotic and senior Vince Anzalone made the Rocket Invitational All-Tournament team. Vukotic went undefeated in his matches while Anzalone secured victories across the board and wrapped up the weekend with a 2-1 singles record and 1-0 doubles record.
