STATESBORO, Ga. – For the first time this season, the women's tennis team was on the court at the Wallis Tennis Center. The Eagles would sweep the weekend's matches, defeating Alabama State 5-2 and SCAD 4-3. Next up for the Eagles is Presbyterian College on Tuesday at 2 p.m.
 
"SCAD has provided very tough competition over the past couple of years," said head coach Michele Stanford. "So we had a good idea of what to expect from them this time around. We had a very strong start in doubles to gain the first point, but SCAD came out even stronger at the start of the singles matches. Our girls did a great job sticking to their games and remaining patient until they could take the offense. Today's match was a great fight, and I am very pleased with the way that we battled on the court."
 
ALABAMA STATE – The Eagles jumped out to an early 1-0 lead heading into singles play after Ranzahuer/Truscott and Riepe/De Winter both defeated their opponents 6-3. Ella Monsey would give the Eagles a 2-0 after defeating her opponent 6-0, 6-2 in straight sets.
