In match No. 1, Schreiner University earned a 5-1 victory over
fifth-seeded Austin College after an early morning misting
rain forced the tournament's first matches to be delayed for two
and a half hours. The Mountaineers took two of the three
doubles points and then picked up individual wins from Austin
Carrola (No. 1), Josh Ramirez (No. 3) and Christian Casillas (No.
5) to clinch the match. All matches at the 2014 SCAC Tennis
Championships are being played to decision. To watch a post-match
