PEORIA, Ill. -
Saint Louis' P.J. Hendrie (New Braunfels, Texas / New Braunfels) and Marcus Fadul (Campinas, Brazil / Lindenwood [Mo.]) captured consolation titles in the Singles B and C draws, respectively, as the Billikens completed a successful run through the Bradley Invitational in Peoria, Ill., last weekend.
"All six teams were evenly matched and we competed well," SLU head coach Jonathan Zych said. "It definitely showed that our strength this season is going to be our depth. Our guys were hungry and played hard. I feel good about where we're at following the first tournament of the season."
Hendrie led the squad with a 3-1 singles mark for the tournament, while two doubles teams compiled 2-1 records.
