Women’s Tennis Closes Regular Season With Road Loss
Apr 10, 2016 | Women's Tennis
Gabrielle Paul wins second straight match to end regular season.
MEMPHIS – The University of Memphis women's tennis team (2-16, 0-2 American) closed its 2016 regular season with a 4-1 loss at Tulane (7-13), Sunday. Gabrielle Paul picked up Memphis' lone point with a comeback 0-6, 6-1, 6-4 win at five singles to win her second straight match.
Tulane took the early 2-0 lead with a 6-3 win at two doubles, combining that doubles point with the Tigers' forfeit at six singles with no healthy player there. Elena Muller made it 3-0 for the home team with a 6-2, 6-3 win at four singles before Paul got the Tigers' point on the board with her win at five. But Tulane closed out the win with a 6-1, 6-3 win at three to seal the win.
The Tigers will now wait for the tournament bracket to be announced for the American Athletic Conference championships, which will be hosted by Memphis at MUS April 20-23rd.
