Texas took the doubles point with wins at Nos. 3 and 2 and followed with singles victories by freshmen Lucas Marionneau<\/a> at No. 5 and Mariano Dedura-Palomero<\/a> at No. 6, along with senior No. 3 Sebastian Gorzny<\/a> at No. 1 for the clinch.<\/p>\n During doubles, the combo of sophomores Oliver Ojakaar<\/a> and Evan Burnett<\/a> were first off the court with a 6-3 win over Ethan Dasset and Josef Zapletal at No. 3. The No. 21 duo of Gorzny and Marionneau then clinched the point with a 6-4 victory over Mikel Garmendia and Maxime Salesses at No. 2. In the unfinished match at No. 1, freshmen Kalin Ivanovski<\/a> and Abel Forger<\/a> led their match, 5-4, against Omar Suarez and Etienne Marty when play stopped.<\/p>\n Marionneau made quick work of his match to start singles with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Zapletal at No. 5. Just minutes after that, Dedura-Palomero was almost as efficient with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Salesses at No. 6. In an even shorter time following that, Gorzny clinched the overall victory with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Nicholas Niox at No. 1.<\/p>\n The Longhorns held leads in all of the remaining matches, including No. 41 Ivanovski over Suarez, 6-3, 2-1 at No. 2, No. 102 Forger over Marty, 6-5, at No. 3, and senior Jonah Braswell<\/a>, 6-3, 2-0, over Dasset at No. 4.<\/p>\n #1 Texas 4, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 0<\/p>\n Singles \u2013 Order of Finish (5,6,1) Doubles \u2013 Order of Finish (3,2) Individual Match Key Moments Doubles No. 3: Ojakaar\/Burnett (TEX) def.
