Saturday, Hoang continued his strong play and beat Marquette’s David Packowitz by a score of 7-5, 6-1 to advance to Sunday’s final.
Parlic lost Saturday to Northwestern’s Sidarth Balaji 6-1, 6-3, which advanced him to a consolation match Sunday.
The team ended their doubles run Saturday by dropping the match to Marquette’s Vukasin Teofanovic and Dan Mamalat in a tough match 8-6.
Hoang clinched the Flight B title over Reinhart Sunday, and Parlic ended up losing a three-set match to Toledo’s Thomas Tillman 6-3, 3-6, (10-4).
Head coach Robert Cox said he was pleased with the way his two players showed determination and tough play in the Invitational.
Hoang improved his singles match record to 7-3 for the fall season, and Parlic moved his record to 2-3. The fall season concludes this weekend for the Razorbacks with the UNLV Larry Easley Invitational in Las Vegas, beginning Nov. 2.
