Southeastern Gets Back in Win Column With 4-0 Shutout of Southern

Lions snap six-match losing skid

HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana women's tennis team snapped a six-match losing streak with a 4-0 victory over Southern in nonconference action Monday afternoon at the Southeastern Tennis Complex.
 
SLU (4-11) won a pair of doubles matches and three straight-set singles victories to earn the win. Southern fell to 3-8 overall with the loss.
 
The Lions were dominant in doubles play to take the early lead. On No. 1, SLU's Putri Insani and Ximena Yanez (4-3) defeated Kourtni Stewart and Tanaka Chakanyuka, 6-0. Moments later, the Southeastern pair of Katya Cornejo and Ariadna Perez (3-2) gave the Lions a 1-0 advantage with a 6-0 victory over Nandi Munyulwa and Sasha Taruberekera.
 
Southeastern added to its lead quickly in singles play. Yanez (1-5) earned her first singles win of the spring, 6-0, 6-2 over Takalani Molaoa, on No. 5 to put SLU up, 3-0.
 
On No. 1, Insani (9-3) extended her singles win streak to six matches with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Chakanyuka to put the Lions ahead, 3-0. Shortly thereafter, Flory Bierma (4-11) secured the win, outlasting Tarurberekera, 6-1, 6-2. Polina Sleptsova (No. 2), Teordora Mitrovic (No. 4) and Perez (No. 6) all were up a set on their respective singles courts when the match was decided.
