Extraordinary 3-0 Victory from the Mustangs This Weekend

The Mustangs geared up to play against the Howard Payne Jackets only to dominate in an incredible 9-0 sweep. The Mustangs did not drop a single set in any of the matches against the Jackets. 

"We stayed very discipline today which was our main focus on the day," said Head Coach Alex Hunt. "The team was told to keep the positive energy on our side and we were able to do so the entire time and I consider that a huge success."

Mustangs took charge of the doubles point against the Jackets starting with junior Joaquin Delpino (Villa Maria, Argentina) and freshman Yu Jhe Du (New Taipei City/Taiwan/Taipei Municipal Jianguo High School). The duo went out with a 8-2 win immediately after setting foot on their court.

As far as the singles, the Mustangs did not allow any of the Jackets to gain momentum of any kind. Jonathan Vega (Fort Worth, TX/North Crowley HS) started with a magnificent 6-0 win during both of his sets. Yu Jhe Du (New Taipei City/Taiwan/Taipei Municipal Jianguo High School) would win the singles match Number Two [6-4, 6-3(2)].
