ENNIS, Texas – The Southern Arkansas Men's Tennis team picked up its third straight win on Saturday as the Muleriders cruised to a 4-0 win over (RV) Cameron of the Lone Star Conference.

The Muleriders claimed the doubles point as
Yuri Gondouin and
Ole Valkyser topped CU's Tomas Almeida and Thomas Cardona 6-4 at No. 3.
Sander Jans and
Marko Nikoliuk made quick work of the Aggies' Baptiste Mercier and Carlos Vidal winning 6-0 at No. 1.
In singles action,
Stuart Rehfuss put away Vidal at No. 2 by a score of 6-0, 6-4.
