DALLAS – The University of Houston Tennis program fell to American Athletic Conference rival SMU, 4-0, in the league opener Friday from the Styslinger/Altec Tennis Complex.
Houston (6-5) went into the match looking for its first road win of the spring season. SMU improved to 7-5 on the season with the win. The Cougars now look to rebound on Saturday at noon against UT Arlington.

Three of the singles' games were left unfinished with three wins for the Mustangs, clinching the match for the home team.
