BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The No. 18 Texas A&M men's tennis team is set to host SMU at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center on Sunday at 1 p.m. (CT).

"The team is happy to be back home and playing in front of the 12th Man," head coach Steve Denton said. "The best medicine after a loss is to get back out there and compete as soon as possible. It is going to be a great day of tennis with the men playing at 1 p.m. (CT) and then the women to follow at 4 p.m. (CT) against Rice."

The Aggies return to action after dropping a 7-0 match at No. 20 Oklahoma on Friday evening in Norman.
