Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Men's Tennis player Peter Nagy
broke into the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Rankings
on Tuesday, earning a ranking of No. 103 among more than 2,000 NCAA
Division I Men's Tennis players in the nation.
The sophomore has continually worked on his game, doing extra
after practice and going above and beyond the standard of the
average college tennis player. Nagy dreams of one day representing
his home country, Hungary, in Davis Cup Tennis competition, and
works everyday towards that ultimate goal.
After winning two tournaments during the fall, Nagy has
continued to compete well against the best in the nation. His best
win of the year came in straight sets over No. 42 Patrick Kawka of
BYU in the opening round of the 47th Annual HEB Tournament of
Champions, and the second-year player has gone undefeated since a
matchup against No. 43 Soren Hess-Olesen of the No. 14 Texas
Longhorns. In total, Nagy has just three losses since the start of
the fall season, with both singles losses in the spring coming
against ranked opponents.
In addition to Nagy being ranked, the men's tennis team
continues to be ranked nationally, earning a No. 53 ranking after
picking up a win over Florida A&M last Friday night.
Nagy and the rest of the team will be back in action on
Wednesday afternoon when they host Southern Miss at the Thomas J.
Henry Tennis Center. Match time is scheduled for a 12 p.m. start on
the Islanders home courts as they look to pickup their sixth win on
a row.
Admission to the match is free to the public, and those who
cannot make it out can follow live updates throughout the match on
