DENTON — The North Texas tennis team dropped its regular season finale 4-0 to No. 38 SMU Saturday afternoon.
The Mean Green (6-12) battled for points against the nationally ranked Mustangs (20-9) but struggled to finish on capturing those points.
"We have to better at being aggressive and being assertive for points," said head coach Sujay Lama. "This is a very good team we played and we were there and had opportunities but either got distracted or didn't bring enough aggression as they did."
UNT, which was coming off a 10-day break, dropped the doubles point as SMU won at No. 2 and No. 3. The Mean Green's top doubles team of Saki Oyama and Lucie Devier is the No. 58 nationally ranked team. They faced a Mustangs doubles team that is ranked No. 71. Oyama and Devier fell behind 5-0 but fought back by winning three straight points before the match was called once SMU claimed the doubles point.
In singles, SMU won straight set victories at No.1, No. 4 and No. 6 to clinch the 4-0 victory.
UNT is hosting the 2021 Conference USA Championships that begin Thursday. The Mean Green will find out who their first round match will be Monday. But they know for sure that the first round match will be at noon CT.
