Last Time Out:
FGCU opened up its conference slate taking down A-SUN rival UNF, 5-2. Despite dropping the doubles point, the Eagles bounced back in strong fashion during singles competition. The Green and Blue garnered a win on each court besides the top slot. Senior Javier Fernandez officially clinched the fourth point on court No. 5.
Fernandez took his first set 7-6 and would then fall in the second set, 1-6. Unfazed, the Spain Native came away with a 6-4 third set triumph to seal the deal.
Scouting Bethune-Cookman:
The Wildcats enters Friday's matinee with a 1-1 record as its last two matches have been postponed. The Wildcats have five players on their roster but that didn't stop them from collecting their first victory (4-3) of the season against A-SUN foe Stetson in late January.
Since BCU is short-handed, its doubles have not won a match all season. In singles action, Juan Navarro is 2-0 on court No. 2 while Victor Bravo has gone 1-1 in the top slot.
The last meeting between both squads came back in 2017 as FGCU came out on top 7-0. Coincidentally, the Eagles are actually 7-0 against the Wildcats.
Scouting Charlotte:
The 49ers has a 3-6 overall record and will face USF Friday afternoon prior to making their way down to Fort Myers. When it comes to doubles play, the 49ers pairing of Luca Keist and Constandinos Christoforou are ranked No. 18 nationally (7-2 record on court No. 1).
In singles competition, Keist is ranked No. 71 as he holds a 4-5 record on the premier court. Henry Lieberman (12-15) and Oriol Forne (11-7) are the only other two 49ers who have collected 10 or more wins bridging the fall and spring seasons.
Both teams met for the first time in 2017 as FGCU outlasted Charlotte in a 4-3 battle.
