BELTON, TEX. – McMurry University men's and women's tennis coach Chris Breaux's teams continued impressive progressions as their brief 2022 fall schedule resumed Thursday, Sept. 15-Saturday, Sept. 17, at the Mary-Hardin-Baylor Crusader Invitational.

Competing in singles and doubles, the War Hawks wound up the three-day event with one division champion and one consolation runner-up. The women's tandem of senior Hope Turner (Wills Point, Tex.) and junior Hannah DeFriend (Groesbeck, Tex.) captured the doubles title, surrendering only 14 games in the process. On the men's side of the ledger, senior Reid Smith (Pampa, Tex.) advanced to the semifinals in singles play. He concluded his weekend with a fourth-place effort. The team also had the doubles pairing of Smith and freshman Nicholas Villalovos (Hereford, Tex.) battle back to the consolation semifinals.

McMurry concludes its fall slate by competing for individual and team honors at the 2022 Intercollegiate Tennis Association regional hosted by Hardin-Simmons for the men Sept. 29-Oct. 2 and at Trinity University for the women Sept. 22-25.
