Moonen went an impressive 8-1 in singles and 6-2 in doubles over three hidden-dual tournaments. With his combined 14 wins, Moonen inched his way further up the record book at No. 8 all-time in combined wins. He now has 156 total wins in his prestigious career.
Moonen had an unblemished record at the Southern Miss Invitational, going 3-0 in singles and 2-0 in doubles. Two of his three singles wins were in straight sets against opponents from Chattanooga and South Alabama.
At the Buck Bouldin Battle of the Boro hosted by the Blue Raiders, Moonen garnered a 4-2 record overall, 2-1 in singles and doubles. In the first tournament of the season, Moonen claimed three singles and two doubles wins.
