Lyons, playing in the D flight, cruised to a 6-0, 6-2 victory over IUPUI’s Jesus Diaz to advance to the second round.
“Carlton is definitely putting the pieces together and competing well,” head coach Jim Daugherty said. “He has made the transition from just improving his strokes to becoming a competitor.”
