The tennis team opened their season up on Jan. 16  at College Station in a match against #14 ranked: Texas A&M. The Aggies proved to be a  tough  match and managed to sweep the Texans 7-0. However, the Texans bounced back quickly and were able to secure a 7-0 win against McNeese State the following  day. The Texans have their home opener scheduled for Feb. 11 against Southwestern University. 

The baseball and softball teams are looking to have successful seasons this year opening up their seasons in February. The Texan baseball team ended with a record of 20-35 last season.
