HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Sophomore Garrett Johns and senior Sean Sculley represented Duke men's tennis at the $2K Stan Smith Fall UTR Championship in the men's prize money singles draw as Johns won the title and Sculley finished in third.

Round of 16 action began Saturday morning with Sculley beating Charlotte native Harris Trismen (6-4, 7-5) before Johns came back to defeat Ryan Colby in a three-set match (2-6, 7-6, 6-0). The two advanced to the quarterfinals as Sculley notched a 6-2, 6-2 victory against Jake Sweeney and Johns grinded out his second three-set match of the day to garner a victory against Greensboro native Braden Shick (6-7, 6-3, 6-2).
