FWIW, our Owls defeated UTSA, 6-1, on Feb. 24.

Nice win in doubles today by Marshall. According to the C-USA website, they won the #3 doubles by a 98-0 count. Best win I've ever seen in doubles.

Perhaps you don't understand tennis scoring which goes: 15, 30, 40, game.
game is actually worth 49, but that's not well known.

With doubles, of course, you double that.

98-0.

Yay night birds! Beat the road birds!

Would love to see some local DFW area Owls come out to support - especially if we play against the host school!
