Where is Hugo Di Feo?

Great question especially since today's twitter match preview featured a picture of Hugo.

Yes was able to catch some of the live video of Wolfe's matches, He looked very solid even as the newest member of the team.
Would have been encouraging to see him get the finish, ... for some added confidence moving forward into the weekend when the ITA Indoor regionals begin.
Nice to see Ty rest his hammer for the day, and rotate Wolfe and DiFeo at #1 singles.
Adding Wolfe into the mix at #2 or #3 makes this team even more dangerously loaded.
Reist, Seelig, Mendez are all capable at #6!
Also, pleasantly surprised to see Tubert locked in at #1 doubles.
I am getting flashbacks to the Kevin Metka skill set and Ty's eye for getting max productivity out of a unique serve & volley attacking style that is highly effective in dubs.

Re: Kyle Seelig (OSU) def. Joe Woolley (UTAH) 6-0, 6-3
Redshirt-freshman Kyle Seelig remained on his game as he won 6-0, 6-3 over Woolley on court five. Seelig is now 4-0 on the year and has yet to drop a set.

Check out his background: http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/sports/m-tennis/mtt/kyle_seelig_974479.html
"Was a High School Tennis All-American as a senior ... Never lost a high school match"

I'm thinking this guy is the "real deal" (i.e. winner) and will be a major contributor this year (especially in the #5 or #6 spot).

Bucks faced a tough team, with winning score 4-0 which was deceptive...
Easy win in dubs followed by your straight set wins at 6, Joyce, 3 DiFeo and 4 Pollan nene. Torp , Wolfe and seelig dropped their first sets and we're battling back when the fourth point was clinched.
Bucks advance to uVa in 2 weeks for the ita teamindoor championship.
