ABILENE, TEXAS – Sophomore McKenzie Carroll (Groesbeck, Texas), junior Hannah DeFriend (Groesbeck, Texas) and senior Emily Nuttall (Keller, Texas) turned in gritty singles performances to guide McMurry University Friday, Feb. 10.
 
The trio took straight-set wins at numbers four through six singles to enable head coach Chris Breaux's squad to rally past Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference foe Schreiner University 5-4 at Seidel-Swagerty Tennis Center. The War Hawks improved to 3-0 on the season, as two of three doubles victories also went their way.
 
In men's action, it was a bit of tough luck for Breaux's bunch as three of four third-set tiebreakers went the way of the Mountaineers en route to a 6-3 decision. Senior Jason Cabe (Brownfield, Texas) was the lone War Hawks survivor in extra-session action, knocking off Austin Cervantes 10-6 for a win at number three.
 
McMurry wraps up four in a row at home to begin their spring slate on Saturday, Feb. 11. The first serve against Texas A&M-Texarkana is 9 a.m.
