Q & A With Men's Tennis Head Coach Jeff Barger
What
are your general thoughts on how the season has started while down in
Hilton Head? Where do you feel like your team stands right now?
We didn't have all our regular starters on the trip so we were forced to play some subs. They played OK and I think it will really help out depth as the season moves on.
Who is performing particularly well for the team right now?
Miles Boyea, Trevor Dougherty, Steve Rohm, and Brian Kaleta really improved over the last week.
As you look ahead to conference play, how do you expect to compete within the AMCC?
This last week should help. We played some teams a lot better than our conference competition.
Has anybody really surprised you with what they brought back from the offseason/preseason?
James Getty has been getting better all the time. He gives us a good sub.
What is the biggest challenge as your team returns home and prepares for the heart of your schedule?
Some of the regulars didn't go on the trip. They need to get it together in a couple of days for two conference matches.
What are the key match-ups coming up in your schedule?
Penn State Altoona and Frostburg State.
What are your expectations for the end of the season and into the postseason?
I feel pretty good about our chances. Time will tell.
