MIDLOTHIAN, Texas – With the temperature struggling to reach 30 degrees, the University of West Alabama men's tennis team made short work of Ouachita Baptist in a neutral site match played Sunday at Frank Seale Courts, defeating OBU, 5-0.

West Alabama improved to 2-1. Ouachita Baptist dropped to 1-3.

The Tigers swept the three doubles points before Julius Kaverinen and Linus Holthey wasted little time taking straight set victories at singles No. 2 and 4 to end the match. All other singles play was halted when Kaverinen and Holthey clinched their wins.
