ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Red Raiders continued their winning ways as they fought to knock off the Mavericks, 4-0.

Texas Tech came out swinging from the coin toss. Tech won an early doubles point as Parker Wynn and Franco Ribero aided in snagging a doubles point for the Red Raiders with a score of 6-3.

Singles continued with Junior Reed Collier and Isacc Arevalo securing victories in their matches, with a score of (6-2, 6-0) and (6-3, 6-2) respectively. Junior Ilgiz Valiev wrapped up another victory for the Red Raiders tallying a score of (6-3, 6-4).

Head coach Danny Whitehead was proud of the way his team played after uncertainty within the schedule all week.

"UTA fights hard and has some strong spots," said Whitehead. "You have to be ready to play this team, I think our guys have handled another schedule change and changing days and plans and prepared themselves very well mentally to be ready to compete today."

Coach Whitehead is looking for the chance for his team to improve on Sunday.

"We have a good opportunity for us tomorrow against a very tough Tulane team," he said.

Tech will remain on the road as they take on Tulane in a neutral site match tomorrow in Dallas, Texas at 3 p.m.
