Six singles players and three doubles teams from Virginia Tech advanced Friday at the West Virginia Annual Tennis Tournament in Morgantown, W.Va.

Scott Cuppett (No. 1), Oliver Mayo (No. 3), Miki Tusztai (No. 4), Lee Shackelford (No. 6), Adam Gottfried (No. 7) and Chad Toleafoa (No. 8) will compete in the second round of singles play today.

In doubles, three Hokies teams advanced to the finals. At first doubles, Cuppett and Tusztai upset the top-seeded team from Michigan. Andrew Krafft and Gottfried advanced at No. 3 and Shackelford and Toleafoa advanced at No. 4.

The singles and doubles finals will be played Sunday.
