NEW HAVEN, Conn.-----Georgia junior Javier Garrapiz was eliminated in the semifinals of the ITA National Indoor Tournament consolation draw, falling to Florida’s 23rd-ranked Alex Lacroix, 6-2, 6-1, Saturday at Yale University.

Earlier in the day, 38th-ranked Garrapiz downed South Carolina’s 28th-ranked Diego Cubas, 7-5, 6-2, in the quarterfinal round. Garrapiz finished the tournament with a 2-2 record, with both wins coming against ranked opponents.

“Javi had a good win this morning against Cubas,” associate head coach Will Glenn said. "He‘s getting tougher mentally. He hung in there and good things happen for him when he does that.

“He had a tough one this afternoon,” Glenn said. “Lacroix came out and played pretty well. All-in-all it was a good tournament for Javi. He’s learning some things that will help him in the spring.”

This ends the fall season for Georgia. Garrapiz finished the fall with a team-high 11 wins followed by Drake Bernstein with 10 and Christian Vitulli with nine.

The Bulldogs will play in the SEC Indoor Tournament Jan. 15-18 in Atlanta.
