HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University women's tennis team improved to 5-0 this spring with 7-0 victories over Alcorn State and Copiah-Lincoln Community College Tuesday afternoon at the Southeastern Tennis Complex.
"It was good to get these two wins today and I was pleased with how we responded to the physical demands of playing two matches in one day," Southeastern head tennis coach
Jason Hayes commented. "We're still dealing with some injuries and we'll need to get fully healthy by the time we reach conference play. But on the plus side, we're getting everyone valuable experience."
In doubles play Tuesday,
Taisia Bolsova and
Aitana Darder (4-1) picked up a pair of victories.
Mariam Tetradze and
Adriana Tirado (4-0), as well as the pair of
Bente Bierma and
Panatchakorn Suanarsa (1-0) each also earned wins for SLU.
Suanarsa (3-1), Tetradze (4-0) and
Adriana Tirado (5-0) each earned two straight-set singles victories.
Mariam Makashvili (4-0),
Paige Duncan (4-0), Bolsova (2-0) and
Bente Bierma (1-1) each also claimed wins, as did newcomer
