Contact: Jeff Schneider

PENSACOLA, Fla. – The Ragin' Cajuns men's tennis team saw all three players in action on Friday move on to the second round of singles qualifying at the UTSA Pensacola Futures held at the Roger Scott Tennis Center.

"The guys will be the first to tell you that we didn't have our best day from all three players, but they still found a way to win," head coach Mark Jeffrey said. "The guys won the right points at the right time. That's a sign they are maturing and understanding the game."

Junior Damian Farinola notched a straight set victory over Jonathon Stenberg of Sweden, 7-5, 6-2.

"Damian did a good job of keeping his foot down after taking the first set 7-5 with an early break second set," Jeffrey mentioned.

Also moving on to the second day of competition was Carl Alberton and Jake Wynan. Alberton held on to defeat Joe Delinks, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4, while Wynan gutted out a 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 decision against Jonathon Pearlman.

"Carl played a great game to break at 5-4 in the third set," Jeffrey added. "That was timely big point play. Jake's match was a seesaw battle. He played a solid first set, but went walkabout for around two sets until he broke to even things at 6-6 in the third set before winning the tiebreaker 7-2."

The second round is slated for tomorrow. For info and updates follow the team on twitter @CajunMensTennis.
