Emmitsburg, Md. - Sophomores Cooper Bradshaw and Ryan Jurist advanced to the quarterfinal round of the Mount Invitational Friday afternoon following an impressive first-round showdown with the Mount St. Mary's pairing.
Bradshaw and Jurist claimed a first-round doubles victory over Mount St. Mary's Nick Huynh and Ben Porto. The 6-1 doubles win was followed up with singles victories by both Bison. Jurist defeated Huynh 6-1, 6-0, and Bradshaw handed a 6-0, 6-3 loss to Porto to go 3-0 in the opening round.
Though Bradshaw won his singles matchup in the second round against Mount St. Mary's Parth Sharma, he and Jurist fell in doubles and were ultimately defeated 2-1 in the second round.
Bucknell freshmen Guillermo Torres and Per Astrom also represented the Bison at the Invitational. Torres earned a first-round singles win over Mount St. Mary's Gabriel Santos 6-2, 6-3. However, Torres and Astrom would not advance to the second round following a 6-2 doubles loss.
Torres and Astrom lead 1-0 in the consolation bracket after a 6-4 doubles victory Friday, and will continue play tomorrow on the final day of the Mount Invitational.
