Women’s tennis handles UTEP for first win of young season, 6-1
The JU women’s tennis team forgot about its opening weekend blues and delivered a convincing 6-1 victory over UTEP on Sunday at the Keith Watson Family Tennis Complex.

The Dolphins dominated the singles draw, winning five matches in straight sets and only dropping 23 games in the victorious contests.

“What a great result for us,” said JU head coach Shane Wood. “I was so pleased with how our team played against a tough opponent. It was nice to see everyone forget about last weekend and focus on a victory today.”

The Dolphins got things started on the right foot, winning the doubles point, 2-1.

The singles matches followed suit as junior Eve Castaing won the first match for JU, 6-4, 6-2. Senior Tatiana Soldatova clinched the victory for the Dolphins with a 6-0, 6-3 win.

The Dolphins are back in action next Saturday when they take on UCF at the Keith Watson Family Tennis Complex.
