So, I’ve been diving into this whole Marist men’s tennis thing lately, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the ride. I’m not a sporty guy, never have been. But something about tennis, especially college tennis, just got me curious.
I started where everyone starts these days – online. Just typing in “Marist men’s tennis” and seeing what pops up. You get the usual stuff, you know? The official college sports pages, some news articles, and even the team’s schedule. Apparently, they’re called the Red Foxes, which I thought was pretty cool.
- First, I dug into their schedule.
- They’ve got matches lined up against a bunch of other schools.
- Seems like they travel quite a bit, too, going to places like Queens for matches.
I saw they had this one match coming up against NJIT, their first of the regular season. That sounded like a big deal, right? Then, there was another one against Saint John’s. They’re part of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, which, from what I gather, is a pretty big deal in the college sports world.
Then I got into looking at the team itself. They have this whole roster of players, and from the looks of it, they’re pretty serious about their tennis. It’s not just a hobby for these guys; it’s a major commitment. They even have a club tennis team that plays at some East Campus place.
Getting Deeper Into It
Next, I found their schedule for the fall. They were going to be at something called the Army Shootout. Not sure what that is exactly, but it sounds intense. And it’s not just one game, it is over several days. These guys are busy! And then there are all these other events like the ARMY WEST POINT/MARIST INVITE – seems like they are constantly playing.
What really struck me is how organized it all is. I mean, these are college kids, but they’re operating on a whole different level. It made me realize how much work goes into college sports, it is not easy work, you need a lot of practice and to keep fit.
Honestly, the whole experience has given me a newfound respect for these athletes. I might not be out there on the court, but I’ll definitely be following the Marist men’s tennis team a bit closer now. It’s a whole world I never knew much about, and it’s pretty fascinating to learn about it, even if it’s just from my computer screen. It took some time, but finally, I got it.
