BOZEMAN, Montana – Montana State men’s tennis coach Rob Bareford strengthened his team’s 2024-25 lineup on Wednesday, adding Radford transfer Aditya Balsekar.
 
A senior at MSU this season, Balsekar was one of the top players in the Big South Conference from 2021-23.

He was unbeaten against conference competition as a sophomore (7-0) and junior (5-0).
 
“”I recruited Aditya to Radford University back in January of 2021 and we won one, almost two, championships together,” Bareford said. “I can’t wait to be able to Coach him on the courts again.”
