HATTIESBURG, Miss. - The Southern Miss men's tennis team will host its annual Southern Miss Invite at the new Southern Miss Tennis Courts, Sept. 25-26. Teams included are Southern Miss, Tulane, UNO and UAB.
Play gets underway Friday at 8:30 a.m. at the new Southern Miss Tennis Courts located on Pearl Street and 38th Ave., and concludes Saturday.
