WACO - A run into the quarterfinals for Guanarteme Nuez and Mauricio Del Rio highlighted UT Arlington's stay in the ITA Texas Regional hosted by Baylor.

The tandem, ranked No. 33 in the ITA/Oracle Preseason Collegiate Rankings, picked up a pair of wins before being eliminated in a hard-fought quarterfinal, while several UTA players navigated their way through both the main draw and consolation draw in singles.

"We had a good showing this weekend at the regionals and I am very proud of our team for the way they have competed," UTA coach Diego Benitez said. "This is always a tough competition and we handled it decently well. After a tough fall tournament schedule, we are excited about what the spring may bring the Mavericks as we look to compete for a Sun Belt championship once again."
