Thompson on Rod: "Stephane has the complete game with a big serve. He is very consistent and can attack off both sides with both touch and power. He has already proven to be one of the best players on the team and I think Stephane will solidify his place in the Tech history books if he can step up and have a big senior year. Our team will definitely need Stephane to contribute his best."Fall 2004: Advanced to ITA Northeast Regional singles quarterfinal ...
