<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">Brumm tousled with Welsh Hotard of Oklahoma, fending him off for a 6-4, 6-3 finish to move on. Muza also had quite the fight, taking down Takeyasu
Sekiguchi of TTU 7-6(4), 6-1 to advance. The trend continued as the No. 1 seeded Soto prevailed over Francisco Pini of Oklahoma State, 6-3, 7-6(5).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">In doubles, Braverman and Muza battled with Takeyasu Sekiguchi and Franco Ribero of Texas Tech to an 8-6 decision, falling to the Red Raiders. They
then were to face the Texas Duo of Nevin Arimilli and Evin McDonald, but recorded a walkover.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
