Midland, TX—The University of New Mexico men's tennis squad wrapped up its first tournament of the fall season, the Midland Invitational in Midland, TX. Bart Van Leijsen came back and won his consolation final in singles play for the Lobos, defeating Lewis Roskilly of Boise State.
The duo of Hayden Sabatka and Van Leijsen won their quarterfinal and their semifinal doubles matches, but fell short in the final match against Miroslav Herzan and Haru Inoue of Wichita State 6-3.
