NEW ORLEANS, La. – The Prairie View A&M men's tennis team fell 4-2 to Alcorn State in the quarterfinals of the Southwestern Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Championships.

How it Happened:
The Panthers took control early on in doubles play as Jorge Juarez Caballero and Juan Malham Viada took the No. 1 doubles match 6-4 over Alcorn's David Pata and Luka Andonov.
