AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas Men's Tennis concluded non-conference play with a 4-0 victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Wednesday evening at Westwood Country Club.

The Longhorns started strong in doubles by earning the opening point with a 6-3 decision on court three from Nick Naumann and Michael Riechmann, and a 6-2 decision on court two from Adrien Berkowicz and George Goldhoff.

Texas followed with three straight-set victories in singles to clinch the match, improving to 18-3 overall and 12-1 at home this season. The Islanders, undefeated in Southland Conference play, fall to 14-6 on the year.

"I thought everybody stepped up and took the challenge today," head coach Michael Center said. "Up and down the board nobody was giving in. It was a good team win and we now have a week to get ready for a couple of big matches to conclude the season."

Freshman John Mee stepped up to earn the match-clinching singles victory after being inserted into the lineup for the second time in a month and first time since March 22. Mee defeated Corpus Christi's Arthur Bedel, 6-2, 6-1, to improve to 16-8 on the year.

"I've been working really hard, practicing a lot on my serve and coming forward," Mee said. "Today I just wanted to show what I've been practicing and I was really confident with that -- being more of an aggressor."

Next up, the Longhorns play their final home match of the regular season against Baylor on Wednesday, April 15 at Caswell Tennis Center (5 p.m. Central).
