ANNAPOLIS, MD - George Washington University junior men's tennis player Chris Kushma battled in his No. 1 singles match in the first day of the Navy Invitational, an eight-flight singles and four-flight doubles tournament, on Friday, defeating his Georgetown opponent in three sets.

Kushma, after a line up change due to illness on the team, held onto his unbeaten fall record when he beat Georgetown's Anthony Tan 5-7,6-3, 7-6(7).

Ugur Atalay and Richard Blumenfeld both collected first day wins over their Georgetown opponents in straight sets. Yan Levinski won his first set 6-3 and battled back, after dropping the second set 1-6, to take the third set 6-2.

In doubles action, freshmen duo Ken Mkrtchian and Garrett Lockhart won at the No. 4 doubles flight 8-5.
