SAINT MARY'S CLAIMS FIRST MEN'S TITLE

A strong Saint Mary's team swept past Dalhousie 3/0 today in the men's final of the Atlantic University Tennis Championships claiming their first ever title. SMU started strong winning both the men's doubles matches with Evan McNicol and Satyam Verma beating Raul Martinez and Aaron Yip 8/4 and Matt Van Amburg and Sabrang Sandal taking the win over Spencer Robertson and Graeme Larsen by a score of 8/6. And then all it took was one singles match win by Evan McNicol over Graeme Larsen 6/1, 6/1 to seal the deal and give Saint Mary's the AUTL men's title.

In the women's 3rd place match, UNB squeaked out a close win over UPEI taking the match 3/2. In the men's 3rd place match, defending champion Memorial downed UNB in a 3/0 sweep.

The men's league individual awards were also handed out today with Evan McNicol from SMU winning League Most Valuable Player, Sabrang Sandal from SMU winning Freshman of the Year, and Finnegan Ku**er of UNB taking the Sportsmanship Award.

This was the first year that the AUTL changed their format and instead of having an overall team champion, now has a women's champion, Memorial, and a men's champion, Saint Mary's. Both teams will represent the Atlantic league in the National University Championships this summer which takes place in Montreal and Toronto in conjunction with the Rogers Cup.

Mother nature could not stop the Atlantic University tennis teams from managing to make the trek to Fredericton for the second weekend of league round robin play. It wasn't easy for some and now will hopefully all make it home safe and sound today for those traveling back to Halifax while our friends from the Rock will have to wait things out a bit longer as hardest hit St. John's digs out from over 70 centimeters of snow with potentially more on the way.
With a bit of re-scheduling, we managed to get all matches played and the line-up is now set for the League Championships taking place at the end of February.

The 2019/2020 Atlantic University tennis season gets under way this coming weekend as teams will take to the court at the Cougar Dome in Truro starting on Friday, November 22 through until Sunday, November 24.

New this year, men's and women's teams will compete separately rather than as a team and the league will name a champion for both who will represent the region at the National University Championships next summer held in conjunction with the Roger's Cup in Montreal and Toronto.

Another change this year is that the 6 men's teams and 6 women's teams will play a round robin league schedule over the course of two weekend events with each team playing against every other team. After the round robin, the top 4 men's teams and the top 4 women's teams will advance to the league championship to play for the titles.

Here is the schedule for this weekend in Truro:
Friday, November 22:
6:00 pm - UPEI vs. SMU
8:00 pm - MUN vs. DAL #2
Saturday, November 23
1:00 pm - MUN vs. UPEI
3:00 pm - UNB vs. DAL #1
5:00 pm - DAL #2 vs. SMU
Sunday, November 24
9:00 am - MUN vs. DAL #1

Good luck to all the teams !!!
