STILLWATER, Okla. - The Oral Roberts men's tennis team competed in the ITA Regionals from October 18th-22nd on the campus of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

This was the first and only regional the men's team will compete in this Fall season.

Senior Gustavo Pinho and Sophomore Ricardo Filho boasted successful weekends as they made it to the semifinals in the Men's Open Singles consolation round.

"Our guys competed incredibly well this weekend," said Men's Coach Mitch Hallum. "We play in a very tough region. Each of our guys pushed opponents from bigger schools and showed them that we mean business. This was a big step forward not only for individual confidence but showed our guys and the region what we are capable of as a team this coming spring."
