BATON ROUGE, La. ― The 32nd ranked Tulsa men's tennis team saw its four-match win streak snapped Thursday afternoon following the 4-2 loss at No. 40 LSU. The Hurricane fall to 11-5 on the season.
 
Tulsa started off the match with an early lead, winning the doubles point behind an intense back-and-forth battle at No. 3 doubles, as Adham Gaber/Callum Gale clinched the point for the Hurricane after winning 7-6 (7), holding off the Tigers.
 
Connor Di Marco had the lone win for Tulsa in singles play, winning at No. 5 singles 6-1, 1-6, 7-6 (5). It was a team-best 11th singles win for the Melbourne, Australia product.
