MARSHALL, Texas -- 
The Howard Payne Men's Tennis team traveled out to face ASC conference foe East Texas Baptist on Friday. 

Howard Payne saw little success facing the Tigers of Marshall, dropping all singles and doubles matches. The most exciting match from the day was the doubles match up between Howard Paynes Nicolas Gates and Riley Harker and ETBU's Karseno and Black. There was great success on both sides of the court, but ultimately it was East Texas Baptists who got the final few points and won. 

On the singles side, it was nearly a 6-1 point sweep with East Texas Baptist dominating. However, there were some bright spots on the singles with Nicolas Gates and Gabriel Keeney-McCol. Both men battled hard, making some near impossible plays, but again, ETBU prevailed. 

Below are the scores from each match up.
