PHOENIX - A two-year layoff from Western Athletic Conference play didn't diminish the NM State men's tennis team's ability to earn league victories.
Facing off against a shorthanded UTRGV squad, NM State collected a 7-0 victory over the Vaqueros in the Aggies' WAC opener Saturday afternoon at the GCU Tennis Courts.
DOUBLES
• Not being able to field a third doubles team, the Vaqueros ceded flight three to the Aggies. From there, NM State turned to its second-flight team to take the lead for good.
• Corey Clarke and Martin Simecek claimed a 6-3 win over UTRGV's tandem of Te Kani Williams and Matro Schmit, handing NM State a 1-0 lead.
