UGA Men’s Tennis: Georgia Downs Mercer, 7-0
ATHENS — In its first match at the newly-renovated Henry Feild Stadium, the University of Georgia men’s tennis team defeated the Mercer Bears, 7-0, Tuesday afternoon.
Not only did it serve as the inaugural contest at the updated stadium, but the win also gave head coach Manuel Diaz his 705th career triumph. Diaz is now just two victories shy of breaking the Southeastern Conference record set by legendary Georgia coach Dan Magill.
The Bulldogs won Tuesday’s matchup with two freshmen and a pair of sophomores at the top four singles spots. Seniors Robert Loeb and Alex Phillips also recorded impressive wins at courts five and six.

UGA Football: Kirby Smart Makes Massive Hire for the Last On-Field Coaching Position
Kirby Smart has filled the last on-field open coaching spot by hiring Alabama strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran. It is thought that Cochran might be the special teams coordinator, although nothing has officially been announced. If you remember, Cochran is one of the first hires Kirby tried to make when he took the head coaching position at UGA. At the time, we tried to get him to make the lateral move and lead the strength and conditioning in Athens. Cochran and Kirby have been very close, beginning with their time together at Alabama. It is also pretty well known that their wives are best friends.
