Last Time
During their fall season, the Tigers took home both the singles and doubles titles at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regional Championships, hosted by Hardin-Simmons University.
Ryan Warren (Keller, Texas / Connections Academy) battled from behind to take the title and win his spot in the ITA Cup. Unfortunately for the first year, Warren fell in the Consolation Semifinals of the tournament. The Tiger duo of
Kishan Kersten (Plano, Texas / West) and first-year
Rocco Mendez (Las Vegas, Nev. / Odyssey Charter School) were also victorious, sweeping the titles for the first time since 2021. The pair made their first appearance at the ITA cup but were knocked out in the RO16. The Tigers come into the spring season ranked the 11th team in the country, 25 spots above SCAC rivals Southwestern
