Hogs Foil Hogs in Intrasquad Match

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - In lieu of the weather, the Arkansas men's tennis team competed in an intrasquad match pitting the Razorbacks against each other in a nine-game match play format.
"Today was very productive," head coach Robert Cox said. "I thought that they looked very sharp. When you practice all week preparing for a match and don't get to play, it is hard to stay sharp. But today they looked very sharp and we should feel a little more comfortable Tuesday when we play Texas-Arlington."
Originally schedule for Friday afternoon the Hogs were supposed to play UTA but the weather postponed the match until Tuesday.
Henrik Tofft continued his excellent play by winning both No. 1 singles and doubles. Teamed with John Deaton they were able to defeat the red team of Stephen Hunton and Aleksey Bubis, 9-8 in a tiebreak.
