HOUSTON - The Green Wave wrapped its first intercollegiate tennis event in four years as the 52nd Rice Fall Invitational wrapped up Sunday. Tulane picked up another four victories as Adam Bernstein and Coby Kramer-Golinkoff picked up singles wins and Tulane doubles tandems won two matches as well.

"I'm really pleased with the way we competed this weekend," head coach Mark Booras said. "We came across a lot of tough opponents and always kept ourselves in each match, and gave ourselves a chance to win."
In Flight A, freshman Rod Rappaccioli fell to Michael Nusslein of LSU, 7-6, 6-3, while sophomore Shaye Wali lost to Rice's Isamu Tachiana, 7-6, 3-6, 1-0 (10-8). Freshman Etham Frenkel fell to LSU's Roger Anderson by a score of 4-6, 7-6, 1-0 (10-8) in Flight D.
