The NAIA's No. 1-ranked Georgia Gwinnett College women's tennis team recorded its eighth straight sweep by defeating NCAA Division II University of Texas-Tyler 4-0 Monday afternoon at the GGC Tennis Facility.

The Grizzlies (10-0) have won both of their matches during the GGC Spring Invitational.

With rain showers in the weather forecast, GGC made quick work of the doubles point with sophomore Ale Ferrer and freshman Cassidy Mataia winning all six games on the No. 3 court.

Then, senior Maria Genovese and sophomore Stephanie Fernandez teamed for a 6-2 triumph at the top of the lineup and sophomores Iryna Lysykh and Selina Pichler were also victorious 6-2 in the No. 2 match.

Meanwhile, the hosts registered three straight-set victories on the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 singles courts before rain halted the match.

Ferrer picked up a 6-1, 6-0 win on the No. 4 court before Genovese had a 6-2, 6-1 triumph at No. 1 singles. Pichler clinched the match with a 6-1, 6-3 victory in her No. 2 match.

Monday's triumph extended GGC's winning streak to 52 consecutive matches.
  "We picked up three nice wins in doubles. Our program is blessed to have nine talented players who are competing for six spots in each match. The competitive spirit within the team elevates the quality of the entire group," said Head Coach Chase Hodges.
  Georgia Gwinnett College is scheduled to resume the GGC Spring Invitational by hosting No. 11 Cardinal Stritch University (Wisconsin) on Tuesday, March 8, from the GGC Tennis Facility, starting at 1 p.m.
