A second straight 4-0 victory has put the No. 2-seeded Georgia Gwinnett College women's tennis team in the semifinal round of the NAIA Championship tournament at the Mobile Tennis Center in Mobile, Alabama.

This time the Grizzlies (19-1), the six-time defending national champions, defeated No. 10 seed St. Thomas University (Florida) Thursday afternoon in quarterfinal action.

A pair of 6-1 triumphs on the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles courts helped GGC capture the first point of the match. Seniors Angel Carney and Tereza Koplova combined for a victory at No. 3 doubles while juniors Stephanie Fernandez and Eva Siska picked up a triumph on the No. 2 court.

The team quickly scored singles wins on the No. 2 and No. 5 courts before inclement weather postponed play for nearly two hours. Junior Justine Lespes won 12 of 13 games at No. 2 singles for the team's second point.

Carney extended GGC's lead to 3-0 with a 6-1, 6-1 victory at No. 5 singles. She now has a 16-0 record for this season.

Following the weather delay, junior Teodora Jovic clinched the match victory with a 6-2, 6-3 triumph at the top of the singles lineup.

GGC has yet to drop a point at the NAIA Championship tournament after defeating No. 15 seed Loyola University (Louisiana) by a 4-0 score on Wednesday.
  "Today was one of our best performances of the season. I was very proud of how we performed throughout the lineup. We came together as a team and it showed, especially in our doubles play," said Head Coach Hannah Keeling.
  Georgia Gwinnett College is scheduled to play No. 6 seed Southeastern University (Florida) in the semifinal round of the NAIA Championship tournament on Friday, May 19, from the Mobile Tennis Center, starting at 10 a.m.
