AUBURN, AL – Tulane's Campbell Ricci shook off a first-set setback against Nevada's Marlene Foerster and emerged with the deciding point in the Green Wave's 4-2 win over the Wolf Pack Sunday morning at the ITA Kickoff Weekend in Auburn.

Ricci, a sophomore from Las Vegas, dropped her opening set 6-4 but rallied with 6-4 and 6-2 wins in sets two and three, respectively, to clinch the team's first win of the spring.

Tulane improved to 1-3 overall, while Nevada, the weekend's No. 2 seed, dropped to that same record.

Natalia Perez (No. 3), Micah Pierce (No. 5) and Natalia Fantini (No. 6) also picked up straight-set wins for the Olive and Blue.

The Wolf Pack got doubles wins at Nos. 2 and 3 to lock down the match's opening point.

Tulane is back home on Saturday with a doubleheader against Southern (11 a.m.) and Southeastern Louisiana (3 p.m.) at City Park Tennis Center. The Jaguars currently sit at 0-1 after a 4-0 loss at Louisiana on Wednesday, while the Lions have yet to play in 2026. They open on Friday at LSU Alexandria.
