HILTON HEAD, S.C. – Playing three matches in three days on spring break in South Carolina, the East Texas Baptist University women's team ran their win streak to 10 straight matches.

On day one, ETBU only allowed one point in an 8-1 win over Westminster College. ETBU started off with a 3-0 lead in doubles with wins at #1 (8-3), #2 (8-1), and #3 (8-4) doubles matches. They then won matches in singles at number two through six.

The final match was cut short due to lights being shut off at the court due to a very late match as ETBU won 5-1 over Connecticut College. ETBU swept through doubles play winning at #1, 8-5, and then taking an 8-0 win at #2 doubles followed by another 8-5 win at #3. In singles, ETBU won the #1 singles and #3 singles for the 5-1 win.
