Box Score
MARSHALL, Texas – Facing tough challenges early on in the new season, the East Texas Baptist University men's tennis team gained two points in a loss to NCAA Division II Dallas Baptist University, 7-2. ETBU is now 1-1 and travels to Austin College on Saturday.

"It was a hard fought match but a great effort by the men's team. Joseph and Jeff were standouts today for the team and their wins give us something to continue to build on for this season," said head coach Jeff Bramlett.

ETBU had three close doubles matching losing number and number two matches, 8-5, and then falling in the number three match, 8-6. Joseph Salinas and Ty Tarver pushed DBU's Garido/Williams to the end but came up short for the win.

Earning their two points in singles action, Salinas and John Herr gained wins at number two and number four matches. Salinas took Gilmore, 6-4, 6-0, and then Herr won over Smith, 6-2, 6-3.

ETBU will face NCAA Division III regional competition on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. in Sherman, Texas, against Austin College.
