BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University Owls end their record-setting 2022 campaign ranked No. 49 nationally, as announced by the ITA.
No. 43 Florida Atlantic University men's tennis fell to No. 47 Charlotte 4-0 in the Conference USA semifinals, on Saturday in Norfolk, Virginia.
FAU ended the 2022 season an 18-6 record and a .750 winning percentage, which is the best season under the direction of Ricardo Gonzalez. The Owls advanced to the semifinals of the C-USA tournament for the fourth time in the last four tournaments, only being surpassed by final berths in both 2018 and 2019.
Six players had double digit wins, with five having double-digit dual match season wins. Kevin Huempfner and Finn Stodder lead the squad with matching 14-4 records each.
At season's end, four players earned Conference USA honors. Among those selected were FAU juniors Alvaro Fernandez Horta, Kevin Huempfner and Hunter Robbins. The trio were joined by graduate senior Carles Sarrio. Fernandez Horta and Huempfner were selected as second team singles honorees, while the doubles team of Robbins and Sarrio received similar honors.
All but Sarrio are expected to return for the 2022-23 campaign.
"Finishing top-50 is always a great accomplishment for any tennis program. Kudos for our team for a great accomplishment. It was a tough and challenging journey along the way, and our team really showed a lot of resilience. We will continue to raise the bar, and I am confident the best is yet to come for this program."
