Murfreesboro, Tenn.—The No. 28 Middle Tennessee State (11-7) men's tennis team's spirit wouldn't be dampened after mother nature ruined plans to play the first match on the new outdoor courts on the corner of the MTSU campus. The energy within the team remained high on Friday night, leading to the sixth ranked win of the year over a Power Five opponent in Texas Tech (6-6) 4-1 at the Adams Tennis Complex on Friday evening to cap off a three-match homestand.
Texas Tech took a dramatic doubles point, winning in a tiebreaker on three to clinch after Leo Raquin and Ondrej Horak came back from down 5-4 to take a 6-5 lead on court one for MTSU.
