MOBILE, Ala. – The
University of South Alabama women’s tennis team is set to face Sun Belt
competitor New Orleans Wednesday at 1 p.m. on USA’s campus at the Bruce David
Lubel Memorial Tennis Courts.
“It’s always important when we play these Sun Belt matches,”
USA head coach Jaco Keyser said. “It’s going to be a strong, difficult match. Hopefully
we can keep on making improvements in doubles and start playing some better
points, that will lead to better games and eventually, better sets and matches.”
The Jaguars are 5-0 in the all-time series against the
Privateers since 1996. The teams met last season when USA, then No. 56, downed
UNO 7-0 at home.
South Alabama is 0-3 to start the season, with their most
recent defeats coming when they hosted No. 38 FIU and North Texas Feb. 19 and
Feb. 23. Both matches had a final score of 7-0.
New Orleans (2-3) is on a three-match losing streak. The
Privateers fell to Northwestern State 7-0 on Feb. 19, followed by another 7-0
loss to Stephen F. Austin on Feb. 20.
