Tyler Junior College

PLANO - After getting rained out Tuesday, the Tyler Junior College Apaches finally saw their first action Wednesday in the NJCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championship.

TJC suffered a rare second-round upset as Flight 1's Dominic McLuskey was stunned by unseeded Hleb Maslau of Hinds (Miss.), 6-3, 6-4.

McLuskey, the No. 4 seed, won the ITA Rookie of the Year award before the tournament. He is now playing in the consolation draw.
