ON THE RECORD
“Congratulations to TCU on a great match today,” interim head coach Nathan Perrone said. “Wow, Tobey and Euan fought hard. That is the epitome of the way they work and the way a Blue Hen should go down fighting. I could not be more proud of them for everything they have accomplished, even just by qualifying for this tournament. What a week it has been. As a coach, to see your student athletes experience something like this is very special. It meant the world to me to see them like this. For Tobey Lock and Euan Mackenzie in this life, it’s only the beginning. What they can accomplish not just on the tennis court but in their life to come is endless. The sky is the limit. I’m excited for the next step and to see what these two and our entire program can build off of this. Let’s go Hens.”
HEN HIGHLIGHTS
- Lock and Mackenzie went game-for-game with Cosme Rolland De Ravel and Albert Pedrico Kravtsov from TCU, tying it at 3-3, until the Horned Frogs took three-consecutive to take the first set.
- In the second set, the pair lost the first game but quickly rebounded, taking the next two.
- While the Horned Frogs had the set at 4-2, the Hens successfully defended the match point, with Lock and Mackenzie battling back to knot things up at five, eventually going to a tiebreaker.
