The Bulldogs again showed flashes of talent, but were not strong enough and fell 7-0 to Kennesaw State on Friday evening as the tennis teams traveled to the Atlanta metro area.
The Owls played well enough to win in all phases of the match. They won the doubles point and maintained their solid play in sweeping all of the singles.
The Bulldogs, however, did have some bright spots.
The number 2
doubles team of Yemurai Muskwe and Te’Isha Mixon played a very competitive match and were in it the entire way. The number 3 doubles team of Alison Gladness and Jasmine Cherry, playing in their first match together, looked promising as well.
