Men's tennis traveled to Arkansas to start spring break and dropped both matches they had in the early week.

On Monday they faced Hendrix College and lost 6-3 and then followed it up with University of the Ozarks on Tuesday and lost 8-1. The Warriors used Division III scoring both days so their overall totals were 9 points instead of 7. Each doubles match counts for a point rather than 1 point being awarded to the team who won two of three matches in doubles play.

VS Hendrix

Sterling took one of the doubles points against Hendrix. Robin Baransi and Abhyudit Nagar won their match 8-6 to earn a point for Sterling. The two singles winners were Alexandre Gaboardi and David Garces who each won their matches by points after splitting each set.
