Freshmen Nick Dykema and Kristiyan Trukov of the Marquette University men's tennis team remain in the hunt for main draw titles at the 2013 Purdue Fall Invitational, with play scheduled to resume Sunday morning.

The first-year players each posted a pair of victories on Saturday to reach the semifinals of the Flight D & E brackets. Dykema, who has only lost once this season, will face Michael Savaglio of Valparaiso. Trukov, who is now 6-0 on the campaign, is slated to take on Bradley's Nico Rakitin.

Sophomore Gleb Sklyr was also in action on Saturday, picking up a win in the Flight A draw consolation before falling in the next round.
