LOUISVILLE, Ky. - - University of Louisville head coach Rex Ecarma has announced that Luis Elizondo will continue his career with the Cardinals. He will be immediately eligible to compete in the 2012 season.
"I am very pleased to have Luis Elizondo on the team," said Ecarma. "He is the sixth player of one of the best freshman classes in the country. He adds talent and experience to our team and will challenge for a starting spot right away. He is a classy young person from a very supportive family and I'm glad that they will be part of the Cardinal Tennis family. Luis has a great personality and will fit in well. This freshman class reminds me a lot of the U of L football freshmen, because they bring a lot talent to the team and we will rely on these young guys to learn how to succeed."
