PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas – The Prairie View A&M men's tennis team played host to the University of Texas San Antonio dropping both matches 4-0 Wednesday, at the PVAMU Tennis Courts.

The Panthers played UTSA very close in the early match up.  At the No. 3 position the duo of Rodrigo Yoshikata and Zach Suico came just short of the win falling 7-6 to the Roadrunners Leon Hein and Patrick Poestinger in doubles action.

In the evening match the Panthers and UTSA only played singles, because of the lateness of the day.  At the No. 2 position Anirudh Yadav fell in close sets 6-4, 6-4 to the Roadrunners Juri Reckow, while Suico dropped his match at the No. 3 position 6-3, 6-1 to Gonzalez.
