LUBBOCK, Texas - Despite icy courts and the blistering Lubbock wind, the men's tennis team put away Lamar and Abilene Christian in singles action today at the McLeod Tennis Center. The No. 30-ranked Red Raiders advance to 3-0, going 11-1 in singles on the day.
After a two hour delay, Tech began their match against Lamar playing on three courts with the top half of the lineup. Winning in two quick sets, Sinisa Markovic finished first at No. 2, followed by Lenoir Ramos, then Tech's No. 1 player Bojan Szumanski. Ahead 3-0, Ilya Babinciuc clinched the win for his team at No. 4 defeating Maciej Bogusz 6-2, 6-4.
Thanks to the Tech Grounds Maintenance crew, the second match against Abilene Christian was able to utilize all six courts. Christian Rojmar tabbed in the first victory, 6-1, 6-2, followed by teammates Babinciuc, 6-3, 6-1, and Szumanski, 6-1, 6-4. Ramos was the next to strike, sealing the victory for Tech for the first time in his career over the Wildcat's Luke Hawk, 6-2, 6-3.
