ROME, Ga. – The Lee University women's tennis team ended a four-game skid with a 6-1 defeat of Shorter University Monday afternoon at the Walt Attaway Tennis Complex.

Lauren Trammell and Mirjana Ragastovac completed the clean sweep with a 6-3 margin over Emma Novis and Kyndall Moore.

Kirr recorded matching sets of 6-1 to defeat Medel to open singles competition and push the Lee advantage to 2-0. Nikolaeva cut Shorter's deficit in half with an upset win (6-3, 6-4) over Simes, ranked No. 40, at No. 1 singles.
