Women's Tennis Win Third Straight

Box Score ATLANTA, Ga. - The UT Arlington women's tennis team (12-5, 3-2 SBC) ended their trip to the Peach State with a 4-1 win over Georgia State, one day after defeating Georgia Southern, to complete the sweep of the Sun Belt Georgia schools.

The Mavericks started the match by winning the doubles point.  Nanaka Taekuchi and Liz Chileno defeated the tandem of Damira Muminovic and Lara Vovk 7-5 to take one of the two required matches.  Carla Pons and Lucia Natal lost in the No. 1 competition 6-2, but a walkover win for Alumdena Boza and Carla Vives wrapped up doubles play to put the Mavs up 1-0 heading into singles competition.

In singles play, the Panthers picked up one point with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Carla Pons in the No. 1 singles competition. That would be the lone point for Georgia State as UTA would wrap up the match with three victories in singles play.  Liz Chileno took the No. 4 spot with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Lara Vovk, while Almudena Boza defeated Anastasia Grosheva 6-2, 6-2.  The singles competition ended just as doubles did, with a walkover victory for the Mavericks, this time coming in the No. 6 competition to Carla Vives, securing the Mavericks victory, 4-1.

UTA is now 12-5 overall on the year and goes above .500 in Sun Belt play for the first time this season.
