All of the other matches were left unfinished.
“It was a good team win today, coming back in the doubles a bit and keeping our composure,” said LSU coach Jeff Brown in a news release. “We had some guys really able to dominate and going out of conference, in conference you don’t get as many of those opportunities so it was good for them to get a reminder of what they can do. We look forward to going back to practice and getting ready for South Carolina.”
LSU will compete again at 5:30 p.m. on Friday against the South Carolina Gamecocks at the LSU Tennis Complex.
