photo         Thompson on Leboucher: "Matthieu comes to us from France where he has played a tremendous amount of tennis in the past year. He has done extremely well and we are expecting him to enter into our program and be able to contribute right away. Matthieu is very physically fit and will be able to handle the demands of our college tennis season. He will certainly provide us with the type of depth necessary to compete in the ACC and I think he will be a key player in this program in the coming years."
