Men's Tennis Takes Two Over the Weekend

THE LEAD
The Dallas Baptist Men's Tennis Team would win back-to-back matches over the weekend as they defeated Austin College, 6-3 and Southwestern Christian University, 9-0.

In singles competition against the Kangaroos, the Patriots would take three of the six matches to seal the win. Jones would win 6-0, 6-1 in No. 1, while Nelson and Burch would win No. 3 and No. 5 by scores of 6-1, 6-2 and 6-4, 4-6, 10-2, respectively.
