Tech’s tennis team hosted the third MLK Invitational at the Ken Byers Tennis Complex last weekend after a double victory against East Tennessee State and Presbyterian. The tournament was an important one on Tech’s schedule, not just because they were the hosts but also due to the caliber of their opponents.
Tech began the weekend outranked according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings posted earlier this month. The round-robin tournament assigned no scores and declared no winner, but in three days of competition, the Jackets played admirably.
Last Friday, the team kicked off the invitational against Mississippi.
