TULSA – Freshman and sophomore each advanced to the round of 128 at the ITA All-American Pre-qualifier that started at the University of Tulsa, Saturday.
Freshman got the first win of the day for the Tigers, winning his way in to the draw with a 5-7, 6-3, 6-3 win over conference foe Hicham Belkssir of Temple, the Owls' No. 3 singles player last season.
The win put Patzanovsky in the same round as four of his Tiger teammates. He would fall in the round of 256 to seeded Ricardo Medinilla of Purdue. But a pair of his teammates would advance to the Round of 128.
