WHAT'S UP NEXT:
- A couple of weeks for Head Coach Matt Williams to help his team hone their skills before the Lions play host to their own tournament, the famed Piedmont Fall Foliage Classic with the third edition of this event being tabbed under the tagline "There Will Be Foliage" as competition is set for Friday, October 23 to Saturday, October 24.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:
Hear from Head Men's Tennis Coach Matt Williams on his team's performance over the weekend:  "I thought we competed hard through the heat all weekend in Montgomery, really shining in singles. It was rewarding to see the newcomers buy into our culture of team-first mentality so early into the new season." 

INSIDE THE LINEUP:
- Saturday's singles slate featured 16 Piedmont winners in the 23 total individual matches with several that went to tiebreak, four in fact.
- Piedmont swept all three doubles decisions in its match with Central Alabama Community College.  

STANDOUT PERFORMANCES:
- In doubles action, it was the duo of Leyton Dunn and Caleb McElveen who picked up the dramatic 7-5 victory on the 1 line against Tuskegee's Gabriel Guillor and Kevin Wright. 
- Piedmont's lone 0-0 winner came at the 1 line of the match with conference foe and host Huntingdon College as Grant Price made quick work of the Hawks' Sage Speer refusing to surrender a game in the showdown.
