SMU men's tennis is set to host the first edition of the Ralston/Neufeld Coaches Challenge this weekend at the SMU Tennis Complex.
 
The Mustangs welcome 9 other programs to the Hilltop for the weekend showdown: Arkansas, Baylor, Mississippi State, Princeton, Rice, Texas Tech, Tyler JC, UT Arlington and Wichita State. 
 
The event consists of one doubles bracket and three singles brackets with consolation brackets. There will be eight-person playoff on Sunday featuring the three winners of the singles bracket, the three winners of the consolation and two at-large selections.  
 
The Tournament begins with the first round of doubles at 9 a.m. on Friday and concludes on Sunday with the singles playoff at noon.
 
2019 marks the first edition of the Ralston/Neufeld Coaches Challenge named for the last two coaches of SMU Tennis; Dennis Ralston, who brought the Mustangs to four Final Fours and Carl Neufeld, who won 401 games at the helm of SMU men's tennis. 
 
Alongside the Coaches Challenge, Four Mustangs will head west to participate in the Larry Easley Memorial Invitational, running Friday through Sunday. Jack Kite, Blaise Fagan, Gardiner Perotti, Huntley Allen and Kyle Pham make the trip to Las Vegas. Last season, Andrew Buhelos took home the flight B singles title with a perfect weekend in Nevada.
 
Brackets for the Coach's Challenge will be posted to the SMU Tennis Web Page and live scores can be found at @SMU10sComplex.
