MOBILE, Ala. – A doubles victory and a pair of three-set singles matches at the top of the draw highlighted Southeastern's return to the court at South Alabama Saturday afternoon at the Bruce David Lubel Memorial Tennis Courts.
 
Southeastern (1-2), back in action for the first time since Jan. 30, dropped a 7-0 decision in its third straight match away from home. South Alabama (3-0) won the doubles point and then swept through singles play to remain undefeated this spring.
 
"We played hard today against a very talented South Alabama team," Southeastern head coach Jason Hayes said. "I was really pleased with a very good doubles win."
