AUBURN, Ala., - Mississippi State's Carles Hernandez picked up a second-round win in the main draw of the ITA Southern Regionals on Sunday.

Hernandez started the day by defeating another Carles – Carles Anton of Troy – 6-4, 6-1 to advance to the singles quarterfinals at the tournament.

Hernandez was then tasked with taking on the nation's No. 11 player Finn Reynolds of Ole Miss at noon. Hernandez fought hard but was unable to keep his hot streak going and fell 6-4, 6-2 to Reynolds.

But Hernandez's day was still not done. He teamed up with Alberto Colas in the doubles quarterfinals on Sunday afternoon as well but lost that decision to Alabama's Juan Martin and Filip Planisek, 8-3.

The doubles match was also the second action of the day for Colas. The No. 92 ranked singles competitor dropped his main draw second round match to Rafael de Alba of Tulane 6-3, 7-5.

The Bulldogs did have another winner on Sunday. No. 27 Florian Broska beat Ole Miss' Jakob Cadonau 6-2, 6-4 in his consolation match.

No. 54 Davide Tortora took his first consolation set 6-2 against Sebastien Collard of South Alabama only to see Collard rally in the next two 7-5, 6-3 for the victory. Gregor Ramskogler also came up short in his consolation match against 19^th-ranked Tyler Stice of Auburn 6-0, 6-4.

MSU picked up seven wins over its four days at the event and will now turn its attention to a trip to Florida to participate in the ITF Tallahassee 15K on Oct. 23-31.
