GEORGETOWN, Texas – Esteban Arredondo and Andres Padilla teamed up for an 8-7 win at line three doubles and the Concordia Texas men's tennis team won five of the six singles matches, defeating LeTourneau 6-3 on Friday for their fourth win in a row.

The Tornados, despite trailing 2-1 heading into singles, took control of the match.

Joshua Bode evened the match at 2-2, winning at line one 6-2, 6-1 over Vazquez. Jorge Garcia picked up the second win in singles, defeating the YellowJackets' Nathan Schmidt handily 6-0, 6-1 at line four.

Evan Pena Jr. rolled to a 6-3 decision in set one and secured a victory at line three, walking away with 8-6 decision in a second-set tiebreaker.

Padilla picked up his second win of the day, defeating Andres Urretia 6-4, 6-4 at line five, while Nico De La Pena wrapped up the match for CTX with a 6-4, 6-4 win at line six.
