July 17, 2010
ATHENS, Ga. --- University of Georgia rising junior Wil Spencer – playing his first action as a Bulldog – won both the singles and doubles titles on the final day of the ITA Summer Circuit Saturday afternoon at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. UGA was the host of the third leg of the annual event’s Southeastern Regional.
Spencer won the singles title, 6-2, 6-2, over Bulldog teammate Ignacio Taboada.
Earlier in the day, Spencer won his semifinals match, 6-0, 6-1, over Gregory Masxon of Bucknell, while Taboada advanced to the finals with his semifinal win over Gabriel Townes in a third set super tiebreaker, 3-6, 6-4, 1-0(7).
That duo also teamed up to win the doubles crown Saturday, defeating Georgia teammates Will Oliver and Will Reynolds by an 8-3 margin. Earlier on Saturday Taboada and Spencer defeated the Tennessee duo of Evins and Patrick, 8-1, in the semis. Oliver and Reynolds defeated Alabama’s Trey Walston and Ian Chadwell, 8-3, to advance to the finals.
The Southeastern Regional was one of eight on the circuit to give incoming freshmen and returnees a chance to play during the summer months. The next ITA event is the National Summer Championship Aug. 7-11 in Bloomington, Ind.
