Washington – The Georgetown University men's and women's tennis teams looked sharp in their final matches before ITA regionals, having 17 out of 21 players compete at the River City Invite in Richmond, Virginia this past weekend. The three-day event consisted of singles and doubles matches between 11 different programs, including: Bucknell, George Washington, Georgetown, Hampton, James Madison, Longwood, Navy, Richmond, Virginia, VCU and William & Mary.

ON THE RECORD - "Both teams played well this weekend and are starting to get more match-tough. I love these tournaments because everyone gets a lot of matches to play against different competition. We are learning a lot and looking to build on this performance heading into ITA Regionals." - Head Coach Freddy Mesmer
