BATON ROUGE, La. – Marshall Landry split his singles matchups on Wednesday to open play for Mississippi State at the ITA Southern Regional Championships.
Landry lost a tight opening match in the first round of qualifying to LSU's Jamie Diack on his home court 6-4, 7-6(4). However, the sophomore from Pinehurst, North Carolina bounced back in a big way to beat Agustin Marquez of Alabama A&M 6-1, 6-2 in a consolation match to secure his second singles win of the fall.
