NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Saint Mary's two representatives continued to shine at the ITA Fall National Championships on Friday as Damon Kesaris and No. 68 Mariia Kozyreva each won two matches to advance to the semifinals in their respective brackets.

Kesaris moved to 4-0 in the tournament and is now among the event's top four competitors. In the round of 16, the senior defeated Mississippi State's No. 24 Giovanni Oradini in straight sets, 7-5, 6-2 and then advanced through the quarterfinals after Texas' Christian Sigsgaard was forced to withdraw due to injury.
