Angelo State Tennis Eyes Historic Finish on the Road this Weekend

 

SAN ANGELO, TX — Angelo State will close out the regular season on the road this weekend, looking to cap a historic campaign with matchups against Lubbock Christian on Friday and UT Permian Basin on Saturday.

Under fourth-year head coach Jason Potthoff, Angelo State has posted the best start in program history at 20-1 and sits one win shy of tying the program record for victories. Two wins this weekend would set a new single-season record.
