Rodrigo Banzer and Leonardo Telles didn’t need to extend much effort as they advanced to the quarterfinals of the ITA National Fall Championships in Indian Wells, Calif. Thursday.

The Longhorns defeated Alexis Galarneau and Michael Ogden via walkover due to an illness. Banzer and Telles will face either Florida or Idaho State in the quarterfinals on Friday.

Telles also competed in the consolation singles draw where he lost to Ferran Calvo of Oklahoma, 6-4, 7-6 (1).

Harrison Scott fell to 16th-seeded Thomas Laurent of Oregon, 6-2, 6-0 in the second round of the main singles draw.
