On the year, junior Nuno Pinheiro leads the club with an 11-2 overall record in singles play and sports a 10-1 record from EKU's top two courts.  The Portugal native is a two-time ASUN Conference Player of the Week recipient this season, however, dropped his first conference match in three sets to this week's player of the week, UNF's Andreas Scott.
 
Additionally, junior Fernando Bulnes enters the road trip 1-0 in conference play after taking down UNF's Bruno Vietri in three sets last weekend, one of the Colonels' two singles wins over the Ospreys.  He won 6-1, 4-6, 7-6 on court No. 2 to move to 6-4 overall this season in singles play.
