Tennis

•  UM senior into quarters: Victor Mauz played his way into the quarterfinals of the Florida Gulf Coast University Eagles Fall Invitational in Fort Myers. Mauz defeated Colin Brown of FGCU 6-0, 6-3 to open the event, then defeated Barry’s Leo Vivas 4-6, 7-5, 7-5 to make his way to the third round.
