Seventh-ranked Texas downed the Rice Owls 6-1 in college tennis action at the Penick-Allison Tennis Center in Austin on Saturday.
The Horns captured two of three doubles matches to grab the first point of the day, then came back to clinch the match with singles wins at No. 6, 3 and 1. The Owls lone victory in doubles came when Peter Frank and Sam Garforth-Bles upset Texas's 30th-ranked pairing of Kellen Damico and David Holiner, 8-4. Senior Oscar Podlewski scored Rice's lone point of the day with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Ben Chen at No. 4.
The Owls will be back on the road next weekend for a pair of matches in Oklahoma. They will face C-USA rival Tulsa on Friday, then wrap up the trip with a Sunday match against the University of Oklahoma.
