HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Following a 4-0 shutout over Alcorn State (3-10, 2-2 SWAC) on Tuesday afternoon in Hattiesburg, the Southern Miss men's tennis team extended its winning streak to five straight. The Golden Eagles (9-7, 0-2 C-USA) also moved their home record to 6-3 and closed out the five-match homestand without a blemish on the record.

"It's great to win all five matches at home this past week," said head coach Zubin Engineer. "I thought we really came out strong today and we had a big comeback in doubles play after we dropped the first match. We had a strong showing in singles and I hope to see the same this weekend down in Florida."

Shamirul Shahril/Antoine Audrain and Dhruv Sunish/Pasawee Reansuwong cleaned up the doubles point for Southern Miss, while Shahril and Audrain needed an extra set to secure the point for the Black and Gold. Sunish and Reansuwong made quick work of Isaac Santitto/Santiago Rocca, winning 6-2 on court three.

With the doubles point in hand, Southern Miss made quick work in singles play and won three matches across court three, five and six. Olimjon Nabiev cruised to a 6-4, 6-0 win on court three to move his record 8-2 on the season. Christopher Cahour followed with a 6-1, 6-0 win against Santitto on court five. Cahour recorded his seventh win on the season and fifth in a row.

Pawin Jirapoomdaje recorded the final win for Southern Miss to move his record to 3-1. The freshman notched his third-straight win thanks to a 6-0, 6-1 sweep against Rocca on court six. Sunish, Shahril and Audrain all went unfinished in singles play. Shahril and Audrain held a one-set lead and leading the second set, while Sunish was about to start the third set on court one.

The Golden Eagles next travel to FAU on Saturday, April 2. While in Boca Raton, Fla., they will also play Georgia Southern on Sunday, April 3. Both matches are scheduled fro 10 a.m. CST.
