LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech Red Raiders took down the Wichita State Shockers with an electric finish on Saturday afternoon at the Lubbock Country Club.

The Red Raiders (2-2) opened the match strong on courts one and two with back-to-back doubles wins.

Shortly after, Sebastian Abboud and Tyler Stewart paired up to take down Pablo Roche Alcaya and Zaid Al Mashni on court two, 6-4.

The intensity did not let up in singles play as Felipe Pagnacco defeated Jacome on court three in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4. Ludovico Vaccari followed with another incredible performance, securing the first ranked singles win of his career by defeating No. 66 Al Mashni, 6-3, 6-7 (6), 5-0 (retired).
