ETBU Too Much For LeTourneau Men's Tennis

MARSHALL, Texas - Wins at number one doubles and number one singles would not be enough for the LeTourneau University men's tennis team, falling by a final score of 7-2 to East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas on Saturday, April 14th. 

LETU falls to 3-13 overall and 0-4 in the American Southwest Conference while ETBU picked up their fourth win of the year to improve to 4-9 overall and 3-1 in the ASC. 

How It Happened:
  • Christian Farris and Jimmie Henson teamed up to pick up the only doubles point that the YellowJackets would secure, earning a 9-8 (8-6) victory at number one doubles. 
  • The Tigers would wind up taking the number two and number three doubles match as Robby Bundy and Zac Crowley-Kurth fell 8-3 at number two doubles while Nash Best and Dale Wallace had a near miss in an 8-5 defeat at number three doubles. 
  • Farris would go on to also secure what would be LeTourneau's only singles point, making quick work at number one singles with a 6-2, 6-3 victory. 
  • The turning point of the match came at number two singles as Henson would battle back from a first-set defeat to force a third set before ultimately dropping his match 3-6, 7-5, 2-6.
