Hattiesburg, Miss.—The Southern Miss (6-12, 0-4 Sun Belt) men's tennis team is set to host Louisiana (11-7, 4-1 Sun Belt) on Sunday at 2 p.m. to close out the home portion of the regular season. The match was previously scheduled for today, Saturday, April 8, but was postponed due to inclement weather in Hattiesburg. Admission to the Southern Miss Tennis Complex is free.

Antoine Audrain leads the Golden Eagles in winning percentage at 6-4, while Olimjon Nabiev leads the way with eight wins in singles play. At 22-23, Southern Miss is hovering one win below .500 in doubles play.
