TULSA, Okla. - The University of Maryland doubles team of Boris Fetbroyt and Andrew Orban rallied to earn a three-set victory Thursday in the opening round of the NCAA Men's Doubles Championship being played at the University of Tulsa's Case Tennis Center.

Fetbroyt and Orban defeated Austen Childs and Simon Childs of Louisville, 3-6, 7-6 (2), 6-2, to move to the second round of the draw. The Terrapin duo defeated Childs and Childs for the second time this season, having won an 8-6 decision in March during a dual match with the Cardinals.

Fetbroyt and Orban move on to Friday's second round and will play Andy Connelly and Ross Cunningham of host Tulsa. The Hurricanes pair, unseeded in the draw, defeated Nick Cavaday and Jay Weinacker of NC State, 3-6, 7-6 (5) and 6-3, earlier on Thursday.

The Terrapin pair is now 16-3 overall this season. Fetbroyt and Orban have already earned All-America status by virtue of their No. 8 ranking as a doubles team this season. They are making the first appearance in the NCAA singles or doubles draw by Maryland men's players since 1986.

Play at the NCAA Championships continues through Monday.
