GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida Atlantic men's tennis newcomer
Segundo Goity Zapico captured three matches on the way to the Bedford Cup, including one over a teammate in the Blue Draw Finals. On Sunday, the freshman fell to his UCF opponent by a 7-5, 6-3 score.
The event, hosted by Florida, saw six Owls advance deep into the tournament while three were competing at the first American Athletic Conference Individual Championship in Houston, Texas.
Goity Zapico led the Owls with three wins, while in total, FAU captured 13 singles Bedford Coup matches and five doubles matches.
The day closes out a busy October of rescheduling due to storms throughout the southeast that saw Florida Atlantic play three tournaments in 20 days.
