He has compiled 33 singles wins in his collegiate career, earning 14 just this season. In doubles, he has posted 29 victories in his four years at The U. Aly graduates in May with a degree in economics and minor in psychology, and plans to look for wealth management jobs in the Miami area.

Upon graduating with a degree in international finance and marketing, he will return to his native Puerto Rico to work in investment consulting and attend law school. 

Diego Soto, from Madrid, Spain, joined the Canes in January of 2011 and has since amassed 42 singles victories and 27 doubles wins. In his final season at UM, he leads the team with 15 singles wins and 12 doubles victories, including a win over a Top 30 ranked doubles pair.
