Gendron announces men's tennis class of 2020
SMITHFIELD, R.I. – The three-time Northeast Conference Champions Bryant University men's tennis and head coach Ron Gendron are pleased to announce the Class of 2020.
"This year's recruiting class is possibly our strongest to date," said Gendron. "I expect all three of these young men to compete and potentially earn a spot in next year's starting lineup. What truly separates this year's recruiting class is their love to compete. Guido and Andrew play as many tournaments in Florida as humanly possible, while Jorge may be the most underrated player in the country. It is a very exciting time for Bulldog tennis and we are hopeful that this class continues to push the envelope as we evolve into something more."
