Michaël Geerts has become the player Matt Hill envisioned

TEMPE, Ariz. -- When Michaël Geerts reported back to the Sun Devil men's tennis team in January, his mind didn't fully accompany him. He had just finished exams in his native Belgium, where he is also taking university courses, and he had just lost his grandmother -- his final surviving grandparent -- on Christmas Eve.

Even though he only spent his senior year with us (and our only senior), Michaël Geerts was crucial to our success in our first year back.

Thank you for your guidance and leadership, Michaël!
