Senior Alvaro Verdu represented the program and the league at the Oracle ITA Masters in Malibu, Calif. The exclusive event featured the top-32 players in the country and Verdu earned an invitation as the 2018 BIG EAST Conference champion.

Verdu fell in the opening round of play to No. 2 seed Daniel Cukierman of USC, who is ranked 31^st in the country, by a score of 6-1, 6-1. He was downed by Zdenek Derkas of Fresno State, 6-1, 6-4, in the consolation bracket.

A trio of players remained in town to compete in the 43^rd Annual Milwaukee Tennis Classic. Junior Brett Meyers, sophomore Luis Heredia Gomez and freshman Fran San Andres participated in singles and doubles action.
