NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Privateers women's tennis team will play a pair of matches against Northwestern State and Southeastern. The Privateers will play Northwestern State on Saturday at 11 a.m. and Southeastern on Monday at 1 p.m.
The Southeastern match will be preceded by Senior Day where women's seniors,
Tristanne Dechoux and

New Orleans has won three straight matches with two of those victories coming in conference. The Privateers defeated UIW, Southern and Nicholls. In their most recent victory over Nicholls, the Privateers swept the doubles matches and took four singles bouts for a 5-2 win.
The Privateers will be playing to assert their hold on the 3-seed. They currently lead Northwestern State by a half game in the standings. Lamar and UIW are a game back and the Privateers have wins over both of those teams.
Laurie Barendse leads all players with eight singles victories.
Anastassia Kouchnareva has seven singles wins and Dechoux has six on the spring campaign. As a team, the Privateers have won the doubles point seven times this season.
Last season, the Privateers lost both matches against Northwestern State and Southeastern. The Southeastern loss was a 4-3 decision while the Lady Demons defeated New Orleans 7-0.
The Southeastern match will be the last scheduled for the Privateer women until the conference tournament which starts Apr. 18 in San Antonio.
