LONGVIEW, Texas - Following more than a week off to prepare, the LeTourneau University men's tennis team will take on Mary Hardin-Baylor in the 2019 American Southwest Conference Men's Tennis Tournament Quarterfinals at 4:30 p.m. at the Davis Tennis Courts in Longview on Thursday, April 25th. 

LETU earned the right to host the 2019 postseason tournament after finishing ASC East Division play a perfect 4-0 and will take on the Crusaders who enter as the number four seed from the west division with a 7-6 overall record. 

The YellowJackets will be looking for their first postseason win since the 2014-15 season when LeTourneau nocked off Hardin-Simmons University by a score of 5-4 in the opening round of the 2015 ASC Championships which were held in Tyler, Texas by the University of Texas-Tyler. 

This will mark the 13th time since 2010 that LETU and UMHB have squared off in men's tennis and is believed to be the second time that the two have met up in postseason play. Last time LeTourneau and Mary-Hardin Baylor faced off in the postseason, it was the Cru who would take a 5-1 victory over the YellowJackets in the opening round of the 2017 ASC Men's Tennis Championships as UMHB has won the past five matchups between the two teams. LeTourneau's last win against UMHB came on March 22nd, 2014 in a 7-2 victory over the Cru.
