VICKSBURG, Miss. – The University of New Orleans took a 4-0 decision from Alcorn Women's Tennis on Thursday afternoon in a non-conference match played at Hall's Ferry Tennis Court in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Alcorn (3-9) saw the doubles combo of freshmen
Amelia Tatafu and
Hana Bajramovic own a 4-1 advantage at the No. 1 position until the match went unfinished due to the doubles point overall being captured by the visitors.
Fleur Sprengers and Danique Vermue were able to defeat Alcorn's
