Winthrop Fall Tennis Shootout, October 5 - Rock Hill, SC


The Winthrop University Eagles hosted the Winthrop Fall Shootout at their outstanding Memorial Courts facility on October 5 and 6 in Rock Hill, SC. I was onsite for the October 5 matches. In addition to the host, the other competing schools were USC-Upstate, UT Chattanooga, Belmont College, and Wofford University.

From the Winthrop tennis website - The Winthrop tennis team captured four of the seven singles flights and two out of three doubles flights throughout the two-day event. The tournament was staged similar to a spring season dual match format.

Nothing like palm trees to remind you you're in the south.

The players did not always update the scores immediately, so at times it was hard to know where they were in their match.
