The University of Texas-Pan American men's tennis team will match-up against rival and nationally-ranked program Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Friday (Feb.15).

The Broncs fell to 3-4 on the season after falling to 68th ranked Tennessee Tech and Arkansas-Little Rock last weekend in Little Rock, AR.

The Islanders are coming off a 5-2 setback over TCU on Monday (Feb.11) where TAMUCC recorded only two wins in singles' action.

An outstanding performance came from Marcus Dornauf (East Launceston, Tasmania, Aus/Scotch Oakburn College Prep) who recorded a 2-0 record in singles' action and a 1-1 record in doubles' action.

Dornauf collected a 6-2, 6-2 win over James Crawford of 68th ranked Tennessee Tech and a 8-5 victory against Borja Zarco and Mario Gutierrez with partner Nirvick Mohinta (Calcutta, West Bengal, India/University of New Orleans).

The newcomer followed that performance with a 7-6, 3-6, and 15-13 win over Victor Wibreus of Arkansas-Little Rock.

The Islanders have lost their last two games to nationally-ranked programs Arizona and Texas Christian University.
