Counting the results from the fall season, Pedro Cressoni leads ETSU with 13 singles victories. Newcomers Carlos Gonzales and Juan Andres Listo aren't far behind with 12 victories themselves. Additionally, Listo was named the SoCon's Men's Tennis Player of the Week on Tuesday for his wins against Asheville and Belmont.
 
The Spartans currently have a record of 4-6. UNCG, which has earned wins against USC Sumter, Belmont Abbey, Longwood and Coastal Carolina this spring, already has a conference match under their belt with a 7-0 loss to Furman on February 28.
