PRINCETON, N.J. - Sophomores Tom Hill and Stefan Menichella of the Pepperdine men's tennis team opened their season today at the Princeton/Farnsworth Invitational. The pair both won convincingly in singles to get their year started off on the right foot.

Menichella (Santa Barbara, Calif./University HS), who was the Waves' top freshman in 2013-14, opened his sophomore campaign against #108-ranked Ashok Narayana of Columbia. The Wave wasted little time charting his first win of the season and dispatched Narayana, 6-2, 6-2.
