TULSA, Okla. – The Wichita State men's tennis team battled at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-American Championships this weekend. Four Shockers collected wins with two advancing into the round of 64.

"It was good to get back out and compete against some of the top players in the country," said men's tennis head coach Darragh Glavin. "We competed hard and learned what we need to continue to improve on moving forward."

Alejandro Jacome and Vanja Hodzic each won their first two matches, before bowing out in the round of 64 in a pair of competitive matches.

"Vanja and Ale had great matches," Glavin said. "They played at a high level and will use this as motivation moving forward."

Marcelo Sepulveda and Misha Kvantaliani collected wins in their opening matches and then both fell in the round of 128.

Richey King, Luke Bracks, and Kristof Minarik all dropped their opening matches, but Minarik picked up a win in his consolation match over Will Fullet of Wofford 6-2, 6-4.

"It was great to have all seven of our guys together competing and being back in the competition atmosphere," Glavin said.

The Shockers will have two more slots of action in the fall tennis season. The next of which is the ITA Central Regional Championships in Stillwater, Oklahoma at the Greenwood Tennis Center located on the campus of Oklahoma State University. The Championships run from October 18^th to October 22^nd.
