CLEMSON, S.C. – Mississippi State closed out the Clemson Invite with a strong showing in singles play against Indiana on Sunday morning.
The Bulldogs were winners in four of their five singles matches with No. 54 Davide Tortora, No. 92 Alberto Colas, Carles Hernandez and Gregor Ramskogler all earning victories.
Tortora took down the Hoosier's Carson Haskins 6-2, 6-4 while Colas collected a three-set win against Patrick Fletchall 6-7(5), 6-3, 7-6(0). Hernandez earned a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Luka Vukovic and Ramskogler rallied for a win over Michael Andre 3-6, 6-2, 6-3.
Redshirt freshman Seth Richey was the only MSU player that did not have a singles victory on Sunday.
The Bulldogs also experienced some setbacks in doubles play. The team of Colas and Hernandez fell to Hankins and Vukovic 6-2 and Ramskogler and Tortora lost to Fletchall and Saylor, 6-3.
State posted a 7-8 singles record and a 1-5 mark in doubles at the three-day event, which also featured Clemson and Liberty. The Bulldogs were without their two highest-ranked competitors – No. 27 Florian Broska and No. 36 Nemanja Malesevic – at Clemson since both competed at the ITA All-American in Tulsa, Okla., earlier in the week.
"This weekend was perfect for the guys to be pushed playing a few spots higher in the lineup," said MSU head coach Matt Roberts. "Every team we played came to play and made us better. We look forward to building with another great event next weekend."
The Bulldogs will be back in action Oct. 14-18 for the ITA Southern Regionals in Auburn, Ala.
"Regionals is a great opportunity for our guys to build and try to advance to Nationals in San Diego," Roberts said.
