ORLANDO, Fla. (www.ucfathletics.com) - Inclement weather shortened play at the UCF Fall Invitational on Sunday as only two men's tennis teams were able to compete at the UCF Tennis Complex. In addition to the host Knights, Florida Atlantic, Florida Gulf Coast and North Florida were participating in the three-day event.
On Sunday, Florida Atlantic and North Florida players were able to compete in singles competition. There were no doubles matches due to rain.
UCF freshman Claudio Romano (Valencia, Valenzuela) completed his flight B singles match, which began on Saturday. He posted a 4-6, 7-6 (5), 11-9 win over Florida Gulf Coast's Ervin Garobovic.
