Clarksville, Ark.-For the third consecutive year, the men's tennis team has advanced to the American Southwest Conference Championship Tournament.

     "The men accomplished their goal of qualifying for the postseason," said Dees. "I am very proud of that, but we have more work to do. Texas Dallas will be a tough team, and we will have to be at our best.  We are looking forward to gaining experience in the conference tournament.  I am excited to watch our guys compete and see what they can do."

Under first-year head coach Cullen Dees, Ozarks posted a 1-3 conference record, securing a spot in the tournament with a 9-0 win against Louisiana College.
