NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Privateers men's and women's tennis teams will both make the trip to Lorman, Miss. to face the Alcorn State Braves on Friday. Both teams will play a pair of matches against Alcorn State with the first starting at 10 a.m.
The women's team will be looking to bounce back after a tough loss against a South Alabama squad that went 7-1 in league play and 15-6 overall.
Marthe Degeorges and
Mar Gendra both earned singles wins for the Privateers in the regular season debut.
New Orleans is in the midst of a stretch that features six of the first eight matches on the road. The scheduled match against Loyola on Sunday, Jan. 30 has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date.
