GETTING UP TO SPEED

Since enduring a challenging non-conference slate that featured five ranked opponents within ETSU's first seven matches, the 69th-ranked Buccaneers (10-7, 3-0 SoCon) have posted a 9-1 record, with the lone loss coming on the road to No. 5 Georgia.

ETSU is one of just two unbeaten teams remaining in the Southern Conference alongside Furman, which has posted a 4-0 league record thus far.

Three ETSU players are in the midst of win streaks of at least five matches: David Biosca (Sant Fruitos de Bage, Spain), and co-captains Ismael Merino (Lima, Peru) and Rogerio Ribeiro (Sao Paulo, Brazil).

Biosca, Merino, Ribeiro, and Sebastian Yllera (Cinco Saltos, Argentina) are each unbeaten in SoCon singles play.

Meanwhile, the doubles team of Yllera and Conner Huertas (Lima, Peru) has won five consecutive matches.
