BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Eastern Florida State College men’s tennis team will compete in the NJCAA Division I men’s tennis national championship tournament beginning Monday, May 14 in Plano, Texas.

The Titans are making their first appearance in the national championship tournament in just their second year.

“The guys have been working hard, preparing for the national tournament and I think they are ready,” Eastern Florida State College men’s tennis coach Bobby Cashman said. “Like the women, this will be their first time in the national tournament but I think we have a good chance to do well.”

Alwyn Mushonga and Andreas Wejs are the sophomores of the young group and have been a part of the program since the inaugural season. They are joined by a strong freshman class led by Nils Michel and Adriel Azucey.

Michel is ranked No. 7 in the Oracle/ITA men’s singles rankings while Azucey is No. 13.
