The Green Wave (3-5 overall) was last in action when it dropped a 5-2 home decision to #28 LSU last Friday. Tulane started strong in singles as the scores were tight on virtually every court. However, LSU powered back and secured the win with triumphs at Nos. 1, 2, 4 and 5.

Kristen Borland won the first set tiebreaker 8-6, then dropped the second set, before finishing it off 6-3 in strong fashion to win at No. 3. Brooke Theis, who is no stranger to three-set battles, won her first set 6-3, dropped the next one 4-6 and captured the third set tiebreaker in a 7-1 rout to emerge victorious at No. 6.

The Tigers swept the doubles action in all three matches.

Houston (8-3), who is currently riding a seven-match winning streak, knocked off Louisiana Monroe 6-1 in its last outing.

Memphis (2-9) snapped a six-match skid on Sunday when it went on the road and defeated the Gophers of Minnesota 4-1.
