June
18, 2002
Head Coach Tommy McDonald closed out his first recruiting class at UALR
with the signing of Mark Edney and Sebastian Falk to play tennis for the
Trojans this fall.
Mark Edney is a transfer from
the University of Louisiana-Monroe and will be a junior this season.
The Melbourne, Austrailia native played the number three and four
positions for the Indians last year.
“Mark is someone who works
hard and brings experience to the table having already played two years of
college tennis,” head coach Tommy McDonald said.
“He knows what to expect at this level.”
The Trojans also signed
Sebastian Falk from Haslach, Germany to play for the men this fall.
Falk attended the Commercial School of Haslach where he was a
nationally ranked junior player in Germany.
“I expect Sebastian to
contribute immediately in singles and doubles play,” McDonald said.
“He is part of the foundation along with David Baxendine we are
building for the future.”
Edney and Falk join Ellie
Vicary, Bindiya Parekh, David Baxendine and Katarazyna Prokop as the first
class of recruits for McDonald who took over the Trojan tennis program
last summer.
