BOX SCORE

NEW ORLEANS, La. – The New Orleans Privateers women's tennis team (3-4, 0-1) was overpowered 6-1 by the 37^th-ranked LSU Tigers (7-2) on Wednesday evening at City Park.

The Privateers began the evening, falling at the 2 and 3 positions in doubles. Marta Sans and Soledad Calderon Arroyo were ahead 4-2 at the 1 position against Joana Vale Costa and Noel Scott, but that match went unfinished after the Tigers wrapped up the first point.
