Lorieul went unbeaten in singles in matches against Southern Miss and UL-Lafayette last week. Against the Golden Eagles, he topped Shamirul Shahril 6-2, 6-1 at No. 2 singles. Lorieul then moved up to No. 1 singles against the Cajuns and defeated Alejandro Sanchez Gonzalez by the identical 6-2, 6-1 score.
