10/10/2021 | Men's Tennis
RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Richmond men's tennis team hosted the Third Annual River City Tennis Open this past weekend. The three-day tournament featured Virginia, Navy, Villanova, Radford, William & Mary, Old Dominion, College of Charleston, George Mason, VCU, Campbell, Longwood, Bucknell, Georgetown, JMU, Norfolk State, and Bluefield State.
Richmond's weekend was highlighted by John Walsh and Ricky Bell who each went 2-1 in their singles matches and picked up a doubles win as a duo against Charleston.
"Anytime you can host an event and bring in the quality of players that we had for this year's River City Tennis Open, it's a great opportunity for our guys. The competition was tough, but I felt like our guys did a great job each day of getting better and ultimately, that's what the fall is all about," said head coach Houston Barrick. "I was really proud of both Ricky and Josh this weekend. Those guys had three very tough matches and found a way to come out on top in two of them."
The Spiders return to action Nov. 4-7 when they wrap up the fall season at the Wake Forest Invite.
