TALAHASSEE – The Florida State men's tennis team wrapped up competition at the ITA Sectionals Championship on Sunday at the Speicher Tennis Courts, highlighted by senior Azariah Rusher.

Rusher opened singles play Thursday with a retired victory over Raphael Vaksmann of Mississippi State before advancing to the quarterfinals with another retirement against Georgia's Gabriele Vulpitta. Rusher held a 6-3 lead in the first set when Vulpitta was forced to withdraw due to injury.
