BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The No. 10 Texas A&M men's tennis team picked up a pair of victories against SEC opponent Ole Miss, 5-2, and Lamar, 7-0, Sunday at the Mitchell Tennis Center.

"I was very happy with our effort today," head coach Steve Denton said. "I thought we did a good job of staying in the present. The team is playing with a bit of momentum, and it was great to see some of our other players get some live action today and they didn't disappoint. Today was a good team win in both matches."

Texas A&M Versus Ole Miss
The Maroon & White (13-3, 3-1 SEC) got off to a hot start in doubles play against the Rebels (8-6, 1-2 SEC) with Luke Casper/JC Roddick getting a dominant win over Carson Baker/John Hallquist Lithen on court 2, 6-3. Clinching the doubles point for the Aggies were Tiago Pires/Kenner Taylor who beat Noah Schlagenhauf/Isac Stromberg on court 3, 6-4. No. 58 Giulio Perego/Togan Tokac were ahead of Lukas Engelhardt/Nikola Slavic on court 1, 5-3, before A&M clinched doubles.

The teams played out the remaining matches after the Maroon & White clinched with No. 64 Roddick securing the last victory of the contest for the Aggies with a win over Hallquist Lithen on court 2 (6-3, 6-3) to give A&M the 5-2 triumph.

Texas A&M Versus Lamar
A&M carried the momentum from the victory over Ole Miss into its second match against Lamar (5-9).
