DALLAS, Texas – The UT Arlington men's tennis team finished their fall schedule on Sunday as the Ralston/Neufeld Coaches Challenge hosted by SMU wrapped up the third and final day of the tournament.
In doubles competition, the tandem of Alan Sau Franco and Alejandro Hayen advanced to the Round of 16 with an 8-2 win over SMU's Michael Smith and Avery Pennywell. They would fall in the following round 8-6 to Mississippi State's team of Florian Broska and Nicolas Ocana-Lavoie.
In singles competition, Hayen, Eduard Simo, Alban and Daichi Akiyoshi each won their first-round match. Hayen defeated Arkansas's Enrique Paya in three sets, 6-4, 0-6, 6-4. Alban and Akiyoshi each defeated an opponent from Wichita. Alban won 7-5, 6-4 while Akiyoshi won his match 7-6(2), 6-4. Simo was the lone Mav to win his second-round match. After winning 6-4, 6-2 over Texas Tech's Justin Bloss, Simo turned around and defeated SMU's Michael Smith 6-2, 6-2. In the semi-final match in the Blue Draw, Simo fell to Princeton's Kabir Sarita 6-4, 6-4.
