Celebrating their lone senior
Robby Bundy, the LeTourneau University men's tennis team fell just shy of victory in a 5-4 loss to the University of the Ozarks at the Davis Tennis Courts on Saturday, April 7th.
LETU is now 3-10 overall and 0-1 in the American Southwest Conference while the Eagles improved to 8-5 overall and 1-0 in the ASC.
In doubles play, the YellowJackets picked up their lone win at number three doubles with
Nash Best and
Dale Wallace combining to pick up an 8-4 win. The number one doubles duo of
Christian Farris and
Jimmie Henson dropped an 8-5 final while Bundy and
Zac Crowley-Kurth fell short in an 8-3 loss at number two doubles to give UO a 2-1 lead heading into singles play.
The Eagles extended their lead to 3-1 after Farris would drop a 2-6, 3-6 match at number one singles, but bounced back with wins by Henson (6-1, 6-1) at number two singles and a win by Bundy due to retirement from the number three singles player for Ozarks. With the match tied 3-3, the Eagles would earn wins at number four and five singles as Crowley-Kurth fell by a score of 1-6, 2-6 and
Collin Patterson dropped a 4-6, 4-6 decision but saw
Cameron Wall earn a 6-3, 7-5 victory at number six singles.
LETU will be back in action on Monday, April 9th at 1 p.m. when the YellowJackets take on Texas-Tyler in a postponed match from Friday afternoon.
