CARY, N.C. — Vasco Prata nearly accomplished Charlotte's annual goal of a quarterfinal berth at the ITA Carolina Regionals. The mission was to make it to Sunday, as it always is.
He started Saturday with a two-set loss in a singles matchup to reach before splitting the day's doubles matchups with his partner, Matias Iturbe, against Wake Forest and UNCW. The latter of the two, an 8-4 loss, was the final turn for the 49ers in the tournament.
"There are so many good teams at this tournament, I thought we did a great job against them," Prata said.
