TULSA, Okla. –– The Tulsa Golden Hurricane had a near dominant performance with a 4-1 victory over the LSU Tigers Monday afternoon at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center.

The 40^th-ranked Hurricane improved its record to 9-6, while the Tigers, ranked 42^nd nationally, fell to 10-7 on the year. The win over LSU now gives the Hurricane home wins this season over teams from the SEC, PAC-12 and Big 12.

Tulsa grabbed wins at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles to capture the point for a 1-0 lead. LSU tied the score at 1-1 with a singles win at the No. 6 spot, but from that point the Hurricane won the next three matches, from No. 2-4, to clinch the victory.

Stefan Hampe's 6-4, 6-1 victory at the No. 4 position put the Hurricane ahead 2-1. Tulsa's No. 2, Ezequiel Santalla, put Tulsa up 3-1 with a 7-6, 6-4 victory and Connor Di Marco clinched the Tulsa win with his 7-6, 6-4 win at No. 3.

Tulsa will be back in action this Friday against another SEC opponent as the 19^th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels visit the Case Tennis Center for a 5 p.m. match.
