NEW ORLEANS – No. 40 Tulane used four straight-set victories in singles to propel the Green Wave past the University of South Alabama women’s tennis team 6-1 Wednesday at City Park Pepsi Center.

The Green Wave win for the sixth straight time and move to 16-6 on the year while the Jaguars fall to 14-9.

The Green Wave clinched the win after earning the doubles point with victories of 8-2 and 8-3, and dropping six games in three singles matches.

Emma Levy doubled the lead after a 2-1 (ret.) win at No. 3 and Caroline Magnusson pushed the advantage to 3-0 at No. 6 after a 6-0, 6-1 triumph .
