LSU men’s tennis sweeps USM

BY CONNOR BARNEY @theconnorbarney

LSU men’s tennis move to 39th in the country in the newest update of college rankings. At 6-1 following Saturday’s win against Southern Mississippi, the Tigers will look to improve their ranking as they move deeper into their season and play more ranked teams.

Singles star Ronnie Hohmann was ranked 30th, although he didn’t play against Southern Miss as he returned from ITA challengers play. Hohmann is currently 4-1 on the year with an unfinished match against Georgia and a loss to Tulane.

At doubles, dynamic duo Nick Watson and Stefan Latinovic fall to 24th in the country. Previously ranked 22nd, the pair were defeated in their most recent match against Southern Miss and have two unfinished matches on the season.

The Tigers brought their brooms to the first of their three weekend matches, defeating Southern Miss 7-0.
