Scouting the Bobcats
Georgia College returns 2019 All-American Matt Rogel to lead the way. In his most recent full season, Rogel went 12-7 in singles and 16-3 in doubles action.
Joining Rogel with experience for the Bobcats are juniors Cole Heller and Lukas Zavrel, sophomore Ben Grunert and redshirt freshman Sebastian Nunez. Of the bunch, Heller and Nunez had each tallied four wins apiece in 2020 prior to the COVID-19 shutdown.
Of the newcomers this season a pair enter as transfers, while the other two are freshmen. Jack Sorel is a Division I transfer from Kennesaw State University, while Jesus Villamizar Abia comes from Division II Cameron University. The two rookies are Argentinian Jorge Robinson as well as Enzo Sergi, who gives the Bobcats a pair of players from France.
Scouting the Blue Hose
The Blue Hose come into the matchup with the Bears without playing a match this spring. They were slated to play on Feb. 12 against Stetson, but it was canceled.
Last season, Presbyterian went 4-9 in the shortened season. Max Benson returns for the Blue Hose this season. Last year, Benson was 6-7 in playing No. 1 singles. Teammate Daniel Strenger also returns, and he went 4-6 playing No. 2 singles last year.
In doubles play, Benson and Stenger teamed up for three matches and came away with a win in No. 2 doubles. They were 18-17 last season in doubles.
NEXT UP
The Bears return to action this weekend when they host Georgia College at 1 p.m. on Saturday and Presbyterian on Sunday at 10 a.m. Both matches are at the LeRoy Peddy Tennis Center on the campus of Mercer University.
