Fok Kow had a great season opener as the Mocs won their season opener 6-1 against Gustavus Adolphus and the first win for head coach
Rhett Rollyson. The junior from Pamplemousses won his doubles flight alongside
Matteo Feggi with a score of 6-3 against Gustavus Adolphus, the No. 17 DIII team from Minnesota.
