SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Portland men's tennis junior Michail Pervolarakis defeated No. 2 seed and 48th-ranked Logan Smith of USC in a Round of 16 match Saturday morning to reach the quarterfinals of the Battle of the Bay Classic at the California Tennis Club. Pervolarakis was then knocked out of the draw by Cal Poly's Ben Donovan, the tournament's No. 5 seed.
Pervolarakis, who was unseeded, beat Smith 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 to earn his best individual win at the collegiate level.
The Pilots had two players participating in the elite, early-season tournament. Both Mathieu Garcia and Pervolarakis reached the singles Round of 16 as Portland and USC were the only schools to have two players advance that far.
