CORPUS CHRISTI — Sophomore Oliver Breininger advanced to the quarterfinals and senior Daniel Moser won a pair of consolation matches to lead UTSA at the Islanders Open last weekend.
Breininger opened the tournament with back-to-back 6-4, 6-4 wins against Laredo Community College's Felipe Jensen and Tyler Junior College's Jacob Rother in the Round of 32 and Round of 16, respectively. The Losheim, Germany, native saw his run come to an end after falling to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's Aurelien Tave in the quarterfinals (6-0, 6-2).
Moser dropped his Round of 32 match but responded with a pair of wins in the consolation bracket. The Texarkana native knocked off Abilene Christian's Corey Hale (6-0, 6-0) and Adam Taylor of Tyler JC (6-2, 6-1) to reach the consolation quarterfinals. Moser's tournament came to end after Laredo Community College's Caio Gomes advanced with a three-set victory (1-6, 6-2, 1-0 [5]).
Sophomore Tim Kuo also won his Round of 32 match with a 6-3, 6-3 win against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's Nathan Robinson.
