NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane women's tennis opens serve on its 2021 spring season on Thursday, January 21 with a home doubleheader against Alcorn State. The first match is scheduled for a noon start at the City Park Tennis Center followed by the second at 3:30 p.m.
The Green Wave finish their first week of action Saturday by hosting Southern University at noon.
SCOUTING ALCORN STATE
The Braves enter Thursday's match after posting a 1-15 overall record during the 2020 spring campaign. They return four letterwinners from last season.
SCOUTING SOUTHERN
The Jaguars will compete in their first match of the season Saturday after posting a 2-8 overall record during the 2020 season. It will be Southern's fifth consecutive spring in which it's made the trip to New Orleans, as Tulane has earned four straight 4-0 victories.
