BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M men's tennis team opens conference play with doubleheader versus LSU and Lamar, Thursday, March 2, at the Mitchell Tennis Center with first serves set for 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. respectively.
Â
Last time out, the Maroon & White travelled to Austin take on in-state rival No. 2 Texas and despite a hard-fought battle, the Aggies dropped the match, 5-2. Notable A&M performances came in singles from No. 57 Raphael Perot, as the junior secured a win on court 2 over the Longhorns' No. 33 Pierre-Yves Bailly (6-2, 7-5). This was Perot's third dual meet win of the season, tying him with No. 63 Noah Schachter for most on the team. Luke Casper also put a point on the board for the Aggies as the sophomore bested Chih Chi Huang in a three-set clash on court 5 (5-7, 6-1, 6-3) earning his first dual match win of the season.
Â
"The season starts over tomorrow as we head into conference play," head coach Steve Denton said. "This next stretch of matches is really going to be a great test and the team is excited to play at home in front of the 12th Man."
Â
The Aggies have played one match in front of the 12th Man this season, in which the team secured a 5-2 win versus the Oklahoma Sooners. A&M looks to build on its early success at home with three doubleheaders in five days. The Maroon & White hold a perfect record at home against the Cardinals, 6-0, and look to continue that trend. In similar fashion, A&M boasts an impressive 8-1 record at home versus LSU, and hasn't fallen to the Tigers at the Mitchell Tennis Center in the last nine seasons.
