HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- After a 10-day break, the Southern Miss Women's Tennis team returns to the court on Saturday as they host Delta State at 11 a.m. Admission at the Southern Miss Tennis Facility is free.

In its last outing, Southern Miss cruised to a 6-1 win over West Alabama in Hattiesburg. Junior Katia de la Garza, who was battling her former team, extended her unbeaten start to three after winning in three sets on court one. Tanit Lopez and Monique Burton moved their unbeaten mark to three as well with wins on court five and six, respectively. De la Garza and freshman Warisara Lee opened doubles play with a win while Lopez and sophomore Ebru Zeynep Yazgan weren't far behind with a 6-1 win.
