The St. Lawrence University men's tennis team saw two doubles teams advance to the quarterfinals to highlight day one of the St. Lawrence University Fall Classic on Saturday.

In A doubles, the duo of John Hill-Edgar and Edvin Stranberg took on Ithaca's Siddharth Reddy and Gijs Fidler and cruised to a 6-1 victory. On the other side of the bracket, Broderick Pinto and Jake David began their doubles season with a 6-3 win over Hobart's Rahul Vallabhajosula and Hyat Oyer. Both tandems will take part in tomorrow's quarters and will be looking to advance.

In A singles play, Strandberg opened his Invitational with an 8-2 win over Hobart's Jacob Linares but fell in the quarterfinals to number one-seeded Connor Griff. In the B draw, Armaan Walia opened his St. Lawrence career with a strong 8-6 win over Hamilton's Alejandro Fernandez Lecaroz, but much like his teammate, he would fall in the quarterfinals to end his run.

The other Saint to earn a singles win was MJ Chaho, who won his first-round matchup against Liam Rieger 8-6 in the D draw. The sophomore put up a good fight against number two-seeded Nicolas Gritz but fell 8-5.  

In the B bracket, Aidan Baracao found himself in a tight matchup against RIT's Christian Berko in the opening-round, but narrowly lost 8-7 (12-10) in the hard-fought battle. Much like his teammate, Sonny Mo found himself in a tiebreaker against Maximillian Chang in the D draw but dropped the match 8-7 (7-3).

The Saints will be back on court tomorrow for day two of the St. Lawrence University Fall Classic.
