CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati Tennis team concluded action at the UC/Xavier Fall Invitational Sunday. This is the team's last action before competing at the UTSA/ITA Ohio Valley Regional starting Oct. 21.

Action took place Saturday and Sunday at Cincinnati and Xavier. The eight teams that competed were Cincinnati, Xavier, Miami (OH), Bellarmine, Indiana, Ohio State, Purdue and Northern Kentucky.

Coach Eric Toth was happy that the team got some extra work this fall and thought his athletes performed well.
