LAS CRUCES, N.M. - NM State's Men Tennis team will be going on the road to Tucson, Ariz., to compete in the Wildcat Invitational.  

This will be the first time the Aggies are back on the court this 2024-25 academic year. During the event, NM State will be taking on players from Arizona, GCU, Gonzaga, New Mexico, Northern Arizona, San Diego State and UNLV.   

In the 2024 season, the Aggies will be returning a lot of familiar faces bringing back eight of their nine players from last season with exception of senior Vassanth Manthan. Along with bringing back the core of the team, the Aggies also added two freshmen (Matias Rojas and Holland Snell) and one sophomore (Lance Urlaub). 

Leading the way for the Aggies will likely be Tobias Wallin, Roko Stipetic, and Gustavo Campos. Wallin ended the spring season in a positive way, earning All-Conference Second Team in Singles for the Aggies with an 8-10 record. Campos was second in doubles wins last season for the Aggies with nine and Stipetic tied with Campos for second on the team in singles wins with six.
