“Pat has been on the team for five years,” Austin head coach Troy Diekman said. “We’re going to miss his leadership and opening pep talks at the beginning of our matches. Ethan and Nick have played doubles together since they were freshman. They are going to be missed as well.”

Austin’s Jeremy Olmsted lost 6-1, 6-0 and Owen Nelson lost 6-1, 6-1.
