Women's Tennis Wins Fourth Straight Match

AUGUSTA, Ga.  – The GRU Augusta women's tennis team won their fourth-consecutive match on Saturday afternoon with a 7-2 non-conference triumph over the visiting Coker Cobras at Newman Tennis Center.

GRU improved to 6-1 overall on the season, while the loss slid Coker to 2-4.

The Cobras' Jennifer Mezei and Sarah Elliott downed Monica Gonzalez and Marie Vin 8-4 in the No. 1 doubles slot, but in the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles matches, the Jags prevailed. Aida Castany and Maria Nadal bested in No. 2 and Maria Cecilia Pimentel and Gisela Font didn't drop a set in the third meeting to take a 2-1 lead after the duos competed.

The Jags won five of the six singles matches to take the eventual 7-2 final. Gonzalez won a three-set battle in No. 1 singles, and after Castany in No. 2 singles fell to Bailey Palmer, the Jags willed themselves to the win with four-straight singles wins.

The Jags continue league play in the Peach Belt Conference with a long trip to St. Augustine, Fla., to take on Flagler on Monday, Feb. 23 at 1:00 p.m.
