ARKADELPHIA – The Ouachita Baptist University men's tennis team defeated its second ranked opponent to start the spring season with a 6-1 win over No. 19 Southwest Baptist on Saturday at home inside the Ward Tennis Center.

"It's great to start the year with wins over two top 20 teams," said Head Coach Craig Ward. "I was curious to see how focused we would be after our win over No. 11 Delta. I thought we did not let it distract us, and we were very focused. We will enjoy these wins for a couple days, and then get back to work."
