The tournament consists of both singles and doubles competition, each five rounds long. Senior Max Montague, sophomores Max Lunkin and Frankie Colunga and redshirt freshman Jett Cash will represent the Maroon & White in the Tall City.
Colunga advanced to the second round despite multiple delays, the sophomore defeated Mario Muniesa of UT-Arlington 4-6, 6-2 (11-9). Next up for the College Station native is Tin Ostojic of Wichita State.
Lunkin fell to Tomislav Gregurovic of Wichita State in straight sets, 6-3 7-5. Gregurovic moves on to face Michael Riechman of Texas.
