NEW ORLEANS – The Loyola University New Orleans men's tennis team traveled across the city to face the University of New Orleans on Thursday, with UNO taking the match 7-0.
Loyola has opened the spring schedule with two tough matches against NCAA Division I programs, UNO and Nicholls State. The Wolf Pack are now 2-0, while the Privateers are off to a 7-0 start this season.
In doubles play, the Privateers had wrapped up the doubles point after victories on Courts 1 and 3, but the team of Aubin Duchier and Remus Hebhang-Balan put up a fight at No. 2 doubles. The Wolf Pack duo jumped out to an early 4-2 advantage before dropping the match 7-6 (7-4).
