Following Carl Emil Overbeck’s first-place finish at the Jack Kramer Invitational, the Bears return to the den satisfied and prepare for winter hibernation.
With the bitter taste of defeat lingering, the Bears hope to improve team morale and secure some quality wins this weekend in the Ralston/Neufield Coaches Challenge and the Jack Kramer Invitational.
Freshman Tim Stepanov shined above other Cal competitors in the men’s singles bracket of the KPSF Open, but failed to close in on the $10,000 cash prize.
Only one of the seven Bears playing Friday through Sunday qualified for the main draw, but the tournament served another purpose as well: Getting new players acclimated to the world of collegiate tennis.
