COACH MONTANA SAYS

"Pierre brings a wealth of experience having played at both Arizona State and Clemson. I believe some of Pierre's strengths will be his confidence he gained while playing in the toughest tennis conferences in the nation in the Pac-12 and ACC, as well as his aggressive style in both singles and doubles. I have no doubt he will embrace our core values and continue to help us reach new heights."

WHY DELAWARE?
