Tulane Men’s Tennis Concludes Competition in the Rice Fall Invitational

Oct 31, 2021 | Men's Tennis

HOUSTON, Texas – The Tulane University men's tennis team wrapped up play in the Rice Fall Invitational Sunday after competing with Rice, Texas Tech, SMU and UTSA on the court throughout the weekend.

"Overall, we had a pretty solid weekend, but didn't finish as well today," head coach Mark Booras said. "Regardless, we competed hard and tried to stick to our game plans. We showed a lot of character in how we battled through a lot of tough situations over three days. We have a quick turnaround to our next tournament next weekend, so we'll have to put in some real focused practices and get ready to jump back into the fire."

Tulane will be back in action at the CCB Invitational next weekend, November 5-7, in Birmingham, Alabama.
