HOUSTON - Arthus de la Bassetiere won the men's backdraw finals to round out action in the AAC Men's and Women's Individual Championships at the George R. Brown Tennis Center hosted by Rice University.
On court four was the men's backdraw finals, where de la Bassetiere emerged victorious over Luc Hoeijmans of Tulane, defeating him in three sets by a final score of 6- 4, 3-6, 6-2. De la Bassetiere fell in the opening round of the tournament, but then won three-straight matches to win in the finals of the men's backdraw bracket.
