HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University women's tennis team will close out its regular season with four matches in a five-day span.
 
Southeastern (11-8, 3-5 SLC) opens the final stretch Thursday, heading to Jackson, Miss. to face Jackson State (10-9) at 1 p.m. and Mississippi Valley State (0-9) at 4 p.m. SLU will close out Southland Conference play Saturday, hosting UTRGV (5-13, 3-4 SLC), before welcoming Grambling to town Monday.
 
The Lions feature three singles players – Adriana Tirado (13-5, 5-3 SLC), Paige Duncan (12-4, 6-2 SLC) and Mariam Tetradze (11-4, 3-4 SLC) – with double-digit wins this spring. Aitana Darder and Taisia Bolsova lead the way with a 10-6 doubles mark for Southeastern.
 
Helen Hernandez leads JSU with a 10-2 singles record. Daniela Tovar and Tiara Alvarez have teamed for a 8-3 doubles mark.
 
Mississippi Valley State will be looking for not only its first win of the season, but its first point of the spring, as the Delta Devilettes are yet to win a singles or doubles match in 2026.
 
UTRGV is led in singles play by Luna Buitenhuis and Rhea Makesar with eight dual-match wins in 2026. Hitakamya Narwal and Maria Baktina have paired for a 5-4 doubles record.
 
SLU has secured a spot in the Southland Conference Tournament, which runs April 19-21 in Beaumont, Texas.
