Lucas da Silva rounded out the singles lineup for the Gamecocks, dropping his opening match to Columbia’s Sachin Palta, 6-2, 6-1.

The Gamecocks found success in doubles, as Max Stenzer and Daryabeigi battled back from a first-set loss to defeat Yale’s Eric Li and Ethan Chung, 5-7, 6-0, 1-0 (10-4), advancing to the quarterfinals. The duo of Barbier Gazeu and da Silva came up short in their Round of 16 match, falling 7-5, 6-4 to Penn’s Vojtech Vales and Shaurya Bharadwaj.
