Women's Tennis Dominates Louisiana, Wins Fifth Straight Match
4/7/2024 1:50:00 PM | Tennis (W)
LAFAYATTE, La. – The Troy women's tennis team won its fifth consecutive match after taking down Louisiana, 6-1, on Sunday afternoon at the Cajun Courts.
Troy (12-6, 6-2 SBC) has now won five straight duals for the second consecutive season after winning five in a row last season. The Trojan's six points on Sunday is its most against a Sun Belt opponent this season.
One constant during the Trojan's winning streak has been its ability to win the doubles point, and Sunday was no different. The Trojans cruised to the doubles victory, with Kristina Kukaras and Emilia Namyslo winning 6-1 on court two and Valeriia Avdeeva and Maria Guirguis clinching the doubles point with a 6-4 win on court one. The third doubles court went unfinished, with the set tied at 4-4.
Troy is now 9-0 this season when winning the doubles point and taking a 1-0 lead.
In singles, the Trojan's dominance continued. Avdeeva added to the Trojans lead with an impressive 6-1, 6-4 win on court four. Louisiana responded with its only point of the day on court five to make it 2-1.
In the top spot, Kukaras picked up her first singles win since March 10, as she had a decisive 7-6 (10-8), 6-0 win to make it 3-1. For the third consecutive match, Hagar Ramadan-Amin clinched the team victory in the number two singles spot. She won in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2.
With the Trojans leading 4-1, the teams agreed to play out the final two matches. Guirguis won 6-1, 4-6, 6-4. Gabrielle Leslie moved to 15-1 in the spring season with a 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 win.
Troy is now 60-42 this spring in singles matches and 23-23 in doubles matches.
Up Next
Troy's final three matches of the regular season all come at home, beginning next weekend. The Trojans host ULM on Saturday at 10 a.m. and Arkansas State on Sunday at 10 a.m.
