HONOLULU - University of Hawai`i men's tennis player Ryan Sceats qualified into the USTA's Honolulu Futures tournament Main Draw, Monday, by defeating Jonathan Galyon, 6-0, 6-1, at the UH Tennis Complex.

With the win, Sceats earned one of eight qualifying spots into the tournament's 32-man Main Draw, beginning on Tuesday. He will face Tyler Cleveland in the opening round on Wednesday.
