STILLWATER, Okla. – Mike Redlicki and Jose Salazar continued their stellar play at the ITA Central Regional Championship on Friday, winning their respective Round of 64 and Round of 32 matches and advancing to tomorrow’s Round of 16.

“It was another quality day for our team,” head coach Andy Jackson said. “Mike and Jose continue to have very quality results in singles and doubles.
