NEW ORLEANS – Tulane's women's tennis team dropped a 4-1 decision to visiting Memphis Sunday afternoon at City Park Tennis Center.

The Tigers advanced their record to 4-9, while the Green Wave dipped to 4-6.

Tulane's Adelaide Lavery and Jiayun Zhu won the No. 2 doubles match 6-3, but Memphis took the 1 and 3 tilts for the overall team point.

The two coaching staffs agreed beforehand to stop the singles proceedings once one team clinched the win. The Tigers did so by capturing the Nos. 2, 3 and 5 contests, but the Olive and Blue's Brooke Theis did manage a convincing 6-3, 6-1 victory at No. 6.

The Green Wave is back in action in the Dallas area next weekend as it visits North Texas Friday at 10 a.m. and SMU Sunday at 11.
