The Georgia Gwinnett College women's tennis team wasted little time in picking up its sixth straight dual match victory to begin the season, defeating Florida National University 4-0 on Monday. Play in the match was moved indoors to the James Creek Tennis Center in Johns Creek, Ga., due to inclement weather conditions.
GGC, 6-0 and ranked No. 1 in NAIA, received straight set wins in singles matches on the No. 1 through No. 4 courts. Overall, the team's players won 48 of the 53 games during the match.
With only singles matches being played, senior
Madeline Bosnjak started things with a convincing 6-0, 6-1 triumph on the No. 2 court. Junior
Maria Genovese followed with a 6-3, 6-0 win at No. 1.
A pair of freshmen clinched the final two points to secure the match victory.
Selina Pichler won 12 of 13 games on the No. 3 court while
Yelyzaveta Velykorodna won all 12 games at No. 4 singles.
"The ladies did a great job of stepping up indoors and getting some nice match wins. This is the 14th straight dual match win for the women's program. We are starting to play very well," said Head Coach
Chase Hodges.
Georgia Gwinnett College is scheduled to host NCAA Division III Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (Ind.) in a doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 29, at 1 p.m. as part of the Grizzly Spring Break Invitational from the GGC Tennis Facility.
