Girls Tennis cruise past Clayton State

The No. 11 ranked Lakers of Clayton College and State University proved to be no match for the dominating Lady Bobcats Tennis Team.

The Georgia College & State University women’s tennis team remained undefeated on the year as they beat CG&SU 5-4, at the Centennial Center Tennis Facility on Sunday afternoon.

The No. 6 ranked Lady Bobcats extended their impressive record to 9-0 on the season and 5-0 in the Peach Belt Conference. The Lakers, on the other hand, fall to 6-3 on the season and 5-3 in the conference.

GS&SU started things off with a 2-0 advantage after picking up wins by default in the No.3 doubles match, as well as the No. 6 singles match. The wins came because of an injured CG&SU player.

Clayton tied things up after taking the next two doubles matches. The team of GC&SU’s Mia Paavilainen and Luiza Biktyakova were defeated 8-5 by Jackeline Nieto and Nathalia Collantes, and the Lady Bobcats team of Caroline Lefevre and Anna Shchupak were handed an 8-4 defeat at the hands of the Laker’s Aline Quintal and Natalia Koulechova.

In singles action, GC&SU took revenge by winning three of the five matches played, thus emerging with an overall 5-4 win. Biktyakova was defeated 4-6; 6-3; 6-2 in the No.1 singles match by CG&SU’s Nieto, while Paavilainen fought hard but was eventually defeated 7-5;7-6 by the Laker’s Collantes in the No. 2 match up.

GC&SU’s Lefevre played a grueling match, and came away with a 6-1;3-6;6-3 victory against Koulechova in the No. 3 match, and Shchupak also defeated Quintal 7-6; 6-2 at No. 4.

The day was complete when GC&SU’s Annika Persson annihilated Clayton’s Carla Bastos in straight sets 6-0; 6-0 to keep the Lady Bobcat’s season in perfect standing.

The GC&SU tennis program will have their hands full this week when the
men’s team faces Erksine on Monday at 2 p.m., while the men and ladies will prepare for their doubleheader against Columbus State University on Tuesday at 2 p.m. in the Centennial Center Tennis Facility.
