THE RUNDOWN
The DBU Men's Tennis team went 1-2 on the weekend with two competitive losses to UT-Permian Basin and nationally ranked Washburn. The lone win came against Howard Payne, 7-0. The Patriots swept all singles and doubles matches against the Yellow Jackets.

DBU HEAD COACH WADE MORGAN ON THE MEN'S EFFORTS
"It was nice to finish the weekend with a win, but we know that we have to get better at the little things, if we are going to be competitive within our region. The guys are just focusing on getting better each match."
