Karen Martinez earned Sam Houston its only point in a 6-1 Southland Conference women's tennis dual match loss Friday at the McAdams Center.

Martinez defeated Cassidy Crawford at the number five position in singles.

The Bearkats had to forfeit both the number six singles and number three doubles because of the loss of two players to injuries.

Next action for the Sam Houston tennis team will be a trip to face A&M-Corpus Christi and Incarnate Word on Saturday and Sunday, April 5 and 6, respectively.
