TROY, Ala. – The Troy men's tennis team leaves the peninsula of Corpus Christi, Texas as HEB Invitational Tournament Champions. The Trojans earned their second win of the tournament Saturday morning with a 4-0 victory over UT Rio Grande Valley.

The Trojans picked up right where they left off on Friday with a dominating doubles performance with quick victories from Carles Anton and Pelayo Antuna on court two followed by a court one win from Christopher Tasker and Oskar Michalek. This was the first time during the HEB Invite that Troy won the doubles point.
