TUCSON--The University of Arizona men's tennis team sends four players to compete in the Aggie Fall Invitational this weekend in Las Cruces, N.M. The tournament starts on Friday, September 10 and continues on through Sunday, September 12. 

"We play in this tournament every year," said head coach Tad Berkowitz. "It's a good opportunity to see where the guys are after the summer and to see how well the new guys are becoming acclimated to the college level."

Senior Geoff Embry, junior Jason Zafiros, sophomore Frank Chen, and freshman Mario Urquidi will kick off the tournament against Northern Arizona, New Mexico State, New Mexico, Western New Mexico, and Abilene Christian University. All matches will be played at the New Mexico State University Tennis Center.

Last season Zafiros, Embry and Alex Johnson competed in the tournament and performed well. Zafiros clinched a third place finish.
