MSU Women’s Tennis Travels To Louisiana For Thursday Doubleheader

February 07, 2018 | Women's Tennis

STARKVILLE, Miss. – After a strong outing at home this past Sunday, the Mississippi State women's tennis team (4-2) will travel to Hammond, La., to face Southeastern Louisiana (0-1) and Southern University (0-3) in a twinbill Thursday. The first match against SLU is slated for 5 p.m. CT at the Southeastern Tennis Complex. The second match with Southern will begin shortly after.

The matches were originally scheduled for Friday and Sunday, but were moved up due to persistent rains predicted throughout this weekend.

In the Sunday doubleheader, the Bulldogs blanked Samford, 4-0, before defeating UAB 4-1. The Bulldog duo of Magda Adaloglou and Janina Braun plus the MSU tandem of Sara Lizariturry and Anastasia Rentouli went 2-0 on Sunday.

In singles, Braun clinched the Samford victory and Rentouli clinched the UAB triumph. Senior Khrystyna Vozniak led the Maroon & White with two singles victories, now riding a five-match win streak. Bulldogs Madison Harrison and Adaloglou also picked up singles victories.
