Both men’s and women’s basketball teams were defeated Jan. 14 by Texas A&M-Commerce. The men (5-13, 1-4) fell 81-66 and the women (8-8, 2-3) lost, 57-52.
Both teams will play a double-header at home Thursday, Jan. 19, against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi beginning at 5 p.m.
The men’s tennis team (2-1) suffered its first loss of the season dropping a 7-0 decision at No. 11 Baylor on Jan. 15. The Cardinals put up tough battles on all three doubles courts before Baylor got the point, and LU forced two three-setters in singles competition.
“Baylor is one of the top teams in the country year in and year out, but I thought our guys came ready to play,” said head coach Scott Shankles. “I thought every one of our guys competed extremely hard one through six, and in doubles. I was proud of their effort, energy and unwillingness to back down."
