ABILENE - Abilene Christian's men's tennis team collected 11 victories over three day of competition at New Mexico's annual Balloon Fiesta. This year's tournament featured student-athletes from five schools playing in a round-robin style tournament in which the final standings were determined by the number of sets and games won.
The Wildcats made the trip to Albuquerque without four of their best players – all of whom competed the previous week at the ITA All-Americans – but still came home with a handful of victories earned against higher-seeded competition. Â

Sebastian Langdon was ACU's top finisher, placing second of five competitiors in the No. 5 Flight. He went 2-2 with victories coming against New Mexico's Michael Tran, 6-4, 7-5, and Air Force's Dillon Launius, 6-3, 6-3.
