Florida State Defeats Boise State In First Round Of NCAA Tournament

ATHENS, Ga. --- No. 29 Florida State defeated Boise State, 4-0, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Saturday at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.

The Seminoles (15-9) will face the winner of Georgia and UNC Greensboro in the second round Sunday at 2 p.m.

“I thought we played well,” said Florida State head coach Dwayne Hultquist. “There were some moments when momentum could have switched. Boise competed very hard and it was not an easy first round for us.”

Anderson Reed and Jordan Kelly-Houston downed Alex Bothe and Erik Sheldon, 8-6, then the 37th-ranked tandem of Vahid Mirzadeh and Connor Smith clinched the doubles point with an 8-5 win over James Meredith and Jeff Mullen at No. 1. The No. 2 match between the 57th-ranked team of Jean-Yves Aubone and Clint Bowles and the Broncos’ Vicente Joli and Filipp Pogostkin was tied at 6-6 when the match was suspended.

In singles, 31st-ranked Aubone put the Seminoles ahead 2-0 with a 6-4, 6-4 win over No. 55 Meredith, then No. 66 Bowles extended the lead to 3-0 with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Pogostkin at No. 3. Kelly-Houston clinched the match at No. 5 with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Mullen.
