UNF caps 3-0 weekend with 6-1 win over Gardner-Webb
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The University of North Florida women's tennis team capped a 3-0 start in Atlantic Sun Conference play over the weekend by knocking off Garder-Webb 7-0 on Sunday afternoon at the UNF Tennis Complex.
The Lady Ospreys lost their only singles match after the final outcome of the team competition had already been determined, with UNF's Victoria Krook falling to Amy Beavers, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 10-4 in a super tiebreak at No. 5 singles.
UNF took care of business the rest of the afternoon, sweeping all three doubles matches for the doubles point, and then getting singles victories from Natalia Sanchez (No. 1), Vanessa Sanchez (No. 2), Maria Melihova (No. 3), Ina Durcakova (No. 4) and Carolina Melo (No. 6).
Natalia Sanchez has now won six straight singles matches for UNF -- all at the top spot -- while the doubles tandem of Vanessa Sanchez and Ina Durcakova moved to 3-0 over the weekend at the No. 2 position.
The Lady Ospreys will get a short one-day break before playing their fourth match in five days on Tuesday when they host Davidson at the UNF Tennis Complex. Match time is set for 2 p.m.
