The LSU men’s tennis team was dominant at the Conference Challenge hosted by Texas A&M this weekend, picking up 10 overall wins in the first two days of its final fall action.
The Tigers kicked off the competition by winning four of six doubles matches on Friday. Sophomore Chris Simpson and senior Stefan Szacinski finished the day with a 2-0 record after knocking off doubles teams from Texas A&M and Southern Methodist University.
Freshman Tam Trinh and senior Roger Anderson won their first round doubles match before losing in the second round, and freshmen Boras Arias and Harrison Kennedy did the same.
Though the start of singles matches was postponed to Saturday because of rain, the Tigers came out in full force, with six different players earning wins on Saturday.
Simpson, who is ranked No. 58 in the nation, came out strong by defeating SMU junior Mischa Nowicki in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2.
Trinh followed suit by recording a victory against Texas A&M freshman Harrison Adams. Arias and freshman Joe Hill added two more wins for the Tigers in the first round.
Anderson and Kennedy brought the Tigers’ win tally up to six with wins in the second round of singles action.
The Tigers will return to the court for the Key Biscayne Collegiate on Jan. 6, their final preseason event before starting the regular season on Jan. 21 against Southern Miss.
