GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jason Legall of Florida Atlantic University men's tennis saw his run in the main singles draw come to a close Sunday at the ITA DI Southeast Men's Regional Championships. He advanced all the way to the quarterfinals, as one of the last eight men's players in the bracket, before falling to the tournament's top seed.

Notables:
Legall defeated opponents from USF, Mercer (the No. 6 seed) and Florida State prior
His matchup with No. 1 Gabriel Decamps of UCF ended in a 6-2, 6-4 result

Quotable

Head Coach Ricardo Gonzalez:
"I was pleased with the way Jason played throughout the tournament. If Jason improves certain parts of his game, he will be a very dangerous player.

"We are definitely taking steps in the right direction. As a whole, we picked up some great wins. We need to stay hungry for more. We can still improve a lot."
