Box Score HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. -- Seniors Barrett Foster (Virginia Beach), Henry Singleton (Richmond), and Matt Kendrick (Birmingham, AL), as well as sophomore Thomas Davis (Charlotte, NC) all went undefeated in singles and doubles as Hampden-Sydney College hosted the Hampden-Sydney Tiger Invite on September 13-14.

"I am overjoyed with how the weekend went. The Hampden-Sydney Tennis program should feel an immense amount of pride in the event as a whole and how we competed," said head coach Byron Balkin. "We had many players win their respective draws and a few going undefeated in both doubles and singles."

We debuted our new TowneBank Scoreboard and viewing area, creating a wonderful experience for both players and fans," added Balkin. "I want to thank TowneBank Chairman Mr. G. Robert Aston Jr. and CEO Billy Foster for supporting the Hampden-Sydney Tennis program. Scoreboards in Division III tennis are rare, and I can't think of more than a few schools with them. We want our players to feel awesome playing at home and to have recruits come to campus and say, 'Wow, this is a place I want to play and attend school for four years.' This addition will greatly enhance our players' experience and move our program upwards and onwards for years to come."
