No. 32 Lady Choctaws Too Much For Lady Flames



The Lee University women's tennis team dropped a 9-0 Gulf South Conference match to No. 32 Mississippi College Sunday afternoon at the DeVos Tennis Center. The Lady Flames dropped to 8-6 overall and 5-5 within the conference, while the Lady Choctaws improved to 16-1, 9-1 GSC.

"MC are a very good team and are having a great season," said Lee head coach Patric Hynes. "We competed hard, but they were just too good today."

Sofia Gonzalez-Carrera and RebeccaGrace Kimball put Mississippi College ahead 1-0 with an 8-2 win over Laura Beth Hardesty and Nicole Shennett at No. 3 doubles. The 39th-ranked doubles team of Brenna Keller and AnneMarie Kimball beat Francesca Tondi and Marta Garcia-Nieto, 8-1. Aneta Golawska and Tori Roberts completed the MC doubles sweep with an 8-3 score against Carley Sickinger and Joanna Grzegrzolka.

Gonzalez-Carrera needed three sets to claim the win in the third position over Sickinger. The Lady Choctaws rode the momentum to post wins in the final three singles spots to secure the shutout.
