FRESNO, Calif. - The dramatic turnaround story of this year's Fresno State men's tennis team added another chapter with the invitation of Sergiu Modoc and Hector Almada to play in the NCAA Doubles Tournament, which begins May 21 at the University of Georgia.

As a team, the Bulldogs travels to Stanford, Calif., to play in the NCAA Team Tournament on May 10 against Arizona State.
