NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Privateers got wins from the top two men in their rotation but they fell on the short end of a 4-2 decision against the Tennessee State Tigers on Wednesday afternoon at the Privateer Tennis Center.
The day started with a back and forth battle in doubles.

In singles, the Tigers won in comeback fashion at flight three. Taj Hibbert came back for a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win. He got a game misconduct after the match but upon review by the ITA it was determined that
