ATLANTA, GA ? Inclement weather forced a delayed first serve in Atlanta as the Georgia Southern women's tennis team dropped its 2009 dual match season opener Saturday afternoon against the Georgia State Panthers, 7-0. The Lady Eagles (0-1) will look to rebound with a win at Kennesaw State on Sunday.
The Panthers took the early 1-0 lead after claiming the doubles point with wins at all three seeds, all by familiar 8-1 decisions. Jessica Fuller battled hard in singles action at the four seed against Katerina Gresova. Fuller dropped the first set, 7-5, but easily took the second, 6-3, to draw the match into a third set tiebreaker. Fuller pushed Gresova, but fell 10-7. Emma Knight fought hard as she faced Martina Ondrackova at the six seed. Knight pushed her first set into a tiebreak decision, but fell 7-6(4) and dropped the second set.
