Box Score NACOGDOCHES, Texas – Texas State women's tennis team won its third match in a row – and first road match of the weekend – with a 4-0 victory over Stephen F. Austin on Saturday.
The Bobcats (3-2) quickly secured the doubles point with wins on courts one and two and continued that momentum into the singles matches where they won three straight matches to give SFA its second loss of the season.
"This was a gritty win on a very cold, windy day," said Texas State head coach
Kendall Brooks. "We came out and took all three doubles matches and I think that was a huge momentum boost for us. Then everyone just went out and did their job in singles and we got it done. Happy to finally get to compete again and looking forward to one more tomorrow."
Doubles
Sofia Fortuno and
Maria Lora on court two secured the first doubles win of the match with a 6-2 victory over SFA's Ksenia Mamontova and Carolina Chiatti, who were 4-0 on the season entering the day. Fortuno and Lora have now won three consecutive doubles matches.
