MARSHALL, Texas – Conceding just one game over their two matches, the East Texas Baptist University women's tennis team wasted no time defeating both Concordia University and Louisiana College on Saturday. ETBU is 9-4 overall and are currently 1-0 in the ASC East Division.

Match 1 – ETBU 8, CTX 1

ETBU would only lose one doubles match at number one doubles as Olivia Parmelly and Kaleigh Smith battled to a tiebreaker before falling 9-8 (7-0). But the other doubles pairs of Tiffany Stankiewicz/Ashley Schenck (#2 doubles; 8-3) and Tess Willis/Mullika Seekhieo (#3 doubles; 8-4) would have victories in their matches. Willis (#1 singles; 2-6, 6-2, 7-5) and Seekhieo (#5 singles; 2-6, 6-4, 10-4) would each earn a tiebreaker win in their respected spots while Stankiewicz (#2 singles; 6-4, 6-1), Smith (#3 singles; 6-3, 6-1), Parmelly (#4 singles; 6-5, 6-2), and Cassidy Wilcoxson (#6 singles; 6-3, 6-3) managed to win in straight sets.

Match 2 – ETBU 9, LC 0

All three doubles pairs would sweep the Wildcats 8-0 to start their doubles play with a 3-0 edge. But with the exception of Willis, who won her match at number one singles 6-0, 6-1, the Tigers would win all other singles matches in straight 6-0, 6-0 sets.

ETBU will resume their season next Friday in Tyler, Texas against the Patriots of the University of Texas Tyler. The match starts at 3:30 PM.
