SURPRISE, Ariz. – University of South Alabama men's tennis juniors Loic Cloes and Clement Marzol have earned a bid to the ITA Fall Nationals in Surprise, Ariz., Nov. 7-11 as a result of reaching doubles final at the ITA Southern Regional.

The Round of 32 doubles portion of the event will begin at the conclusion of the singles draw.

The duo was awarded the bid as the runner-up due to the team they played Braun/Oradini of Mississippi State, had already qualified from the ITA All-American Championships.

Cloes and Marzol are currently ranked sixth in the nation in doubles by the ITA and are 6-2 this season.
 
THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Nick Brochu
On receiving the bid: "I know the guys are so excited to go to Arizona. They worked hard this semester and they deserve to go. They have an excellent chemistry on the court and complement each other perfectly. Loic is an emotional player who can lift the team; Clem is a more focus player who helps when the pressure is high. Game wise, Clement is very consistent and will keep the pressure on the other team by being so consistent with his return and Loic is a powerful player with a big serve and big returns. They are a great combo. I know they will raise to the challenge in Arizona."
