The SMU men’s tennis team continued to roll, picking up their third straight victory after downing Lamar University, 7-0, on March 28 at the Turpin Tennis Center. Over the past three matches, the Mustangs have dropped only a single point.
 

The Mustangs dominated from the start, claiming all three doubles matches for the first point of the match. No. 1 doubles team, comprised of juniors Adham el-Effendi and Darren Walsh and ranked No. 29 in the nation, was able to claim victory over Lamar’s No. 1 doubles team, 8-6. No. 2 and No. 3 doubles also fared well with both winning by a score of 8-4.
 

Walsh, who has been perfect in his past five matches, continued his singles winning streak to six with a win over Lamar’s Denis Ernilov 6-2, 6-1. According to head coach Carl Neufeld, Walsh is playing his best tennis of the year.
 

Junior Artem Baradach, No. 57 in the nation and No. 1 singles for SMU, lost the first set of his match but rebounded to win the final two sets for the victory over Richard Filkuka 1-6, 6-1, 6-4.
 

Senior Chris Hooshyar also claimed a victory in three sets, beating Marton Horvath 6-2, 6-7, 10-7. Hooshyar has only recently begun playing at No. 4 singles. He began the season at No. 5 or No. 6 singles.
 

With this victory, SMU is now 10-9 on the season and 3-1 on its current 11-match home stand. The Mustangs will return to action April 3 against Notre Dame.
