CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – On the final day of the regular season, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's and women's tennis programs each picked up a pair of wins Sunday against Howard Payne at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.

"This was such a wonderful day for our seniors! It was meant to honor them all their hard work, sacrifice and commitment to our team! We could not have asked for a better day for them! Victoire, Pascal, Nathan, Matt and Ulysse have just been a joy to coach, brought tremendous pride to Islanders Tennis and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi! Three NCAA Tournament appearances between those players and six Southland Conference Championships! And all of them are elite students with 3.7, 3.8 GPA's! They were extra special and they deserve this extra day! We joke a lot, anyone who does not hire these Islanders in the job world - tell us the name of that company so we can sell the stock; because they are winners, all about character, team above self and the hardest workers you'll ever meet," said head coach Steve Moore.
 
For the women, Delattre, junior Kateryna Rublevska and freshman Sofia Pinto each won a pair of singles matches. Freshmen Palina Saulevich and Anais Brion also registered victories.
