Enrico Rosellini notched a straight-set win to open the day for the Eagles, downing West Alabama's Matias Iturbe. After taking the first set, Rosellini went up 4-1 in the second. Iturbe registered a break and a hold to cut the lead to 5-4, but Rosellini won his next service game to move into the round of eight where he will face University of Texas-Tyler's Malo Poulesquen on Friday.
