Winning 60 of 68 games across five singles matches, the top-ranked Georgia Gwinnett College women's tennis team earned a 7-0 home win against a depleted Blue Mountain College (Mississippi) team on Saturday morning at the GGC Tennis Facility.
The Grizzlies improved to 15-0 for the spring season. Blue Mountain was receiving votes in the latest NAIA Top 25 poll, but only had five healthy players to participate in Saturday's match.
Sophomore
Tereza Koplova won by identical 6-1 set scores at the top of GGC's singles lineup.
The rest of the singles victories came from freshmen by decisive scores:
Selina Pichler won on the No. 2 court 6-1, 6-1;
Ale Ferrer captured all 12 games at No. 3;
Marta Maestro was on top 6-1, 6-1 at No. 4 court; and
Eva Siska rounded out the match 6-1, 6-1 at No. 6.
GGC won both doubles matches by 6-1 scores with the Koplova-Pichler tandem earning a victory on the No. 1 court. Freshman
Iryna Lysykh and Ferrer won on the No. 2 doubles court.
"We played really well and I'm proud of the effort the girls showed today. We came out and took advantage of our opponent's deficiencies in this match with only five players," said Head Coach
Chase Hodges.
Georgia Gwinnett College is scheduled to host Reinhardt University (Georgia) on Monday, April 12, at the GGC Tennis Facility, starting at noon.
