BATON ROUGE, La. – The No. 46 LSU men’s tennis team (13-9, 3-8 SEC) defeated No. 71 Vanderbilt (7-16, 2-9 SEC) by a score of 4-1 on Sunday, April 16 at the LSU Tennis Complex.

Danny’s Thoughts 

“I’m really proud of how the guys played today, especially the seniors,” head coach Danny Bryan said. “Ronnie and Nick got us going in doubles with a 6-0 win over the No. 13 pair in the country is pretty darn impressive. Then Ronnie going on court 1 and getting that straight set win for us was huge. In doubles we did a good job of winning the point quickly and in singles we had enough guys play well enough to get the W today. We were able to send our seniors off the right way at home. Now we’re looking ahead to the SEC Tournament where we will play Thursday.”
