LAS VEGAS – The New Mexico State men's tennis team picked up its second win of the weekend with a 4-0 blanking of Youngstown State Saturday afternoon at the Fertitta Tennis Complex.

Enrique Asmar and Sergi Espias got things rolling for the Aggies (3-1), taking down their counterparts at No. 3 doubles 6-1. Christofer Goncalves and Luis Flores sealed the doubles point for NM State when they ousted YSU's No. 1 doubles pair 6-3.
 
It didn't take long for Mauri Benitez to give the Aggies their second point of the afternoon, downing the Penguins' (4-3) Alonso Lauz in straight sets 6-2, 6-2. Flores took down his opponent at the second singles slot 6-4, 6-1. Shortly thereafter, de Haan clinched the match for New Mexico State 6-4, 7-5 over Joao Garretto.
