ROME, Ga.— After a stellar performance at the ITA Central-West Region Championship Tournament, Tomas Guadagni made the most of his automatic bid into the ITA Cup hosted by Barry University at the Rome Tennis Center. This tournament features the top collegiate tennis players from all divisions of college tennis.  

On day one Guadagni matched up with Ching Wah Wai from Holy Cross College (Notre Dame) in Indiana. The sophomore from Argentina was bested 6-2, 6-1 in consecutive sets. Wai qualified all the way to the semi-final round of the championship bracket before he lost to the eventual ITA Cup Champion in the NAIA Division.  

Guadagni found himself in the consolation bracket on day two, where he matched up with Julian Tantera from Huntington University in Indiana. Guadagni dropped the first set before battling back to win the last two by 6-1, 6-3 scorelines to advance.  

Day three Guadagni matched up with Keiser University's Oliver King. Keiser is ranked as the #3 team in the NAIA with King solidifying their lineup from the 4-6 slots. Guadagni was blanked in the first set, and dropped his final set of the weekend 6-3. 

This event closes out the Owls competitive schedule for the fall, with their journey to another Heart of America Athletic Conference Title starting in the spring semester.
