Rain Forces Tennis Into First-Ever Tie

MONROE, La. -- A three-hour advancement on the original match time was not enough for the Warhawks to finish its regular season finale, tying Southern Miss 3-3 on Friday morning for its first deadlock in 949 all-time contests.

Luana Stanciu and Elena Roca were in a tight battle through the third set of the deciding match before the rain came and never stopped. The match was also delayed for 20 minutes during doubles play.

The Warhawks (12-5-1) won the doubles point and then lost the first three singles battles. Their backs were against the wall, but Tiffany Mylonas and Patricia Villar won back-to-back contests to keep the squad alive.
