The Lindenwood tennis teams reigned victorious over Eckerd College in Orlando, Fla. on Tuesday behind a 9-0 win from the women and a 5-4 score from the men.
In doubles, the men took a much-needed 2-1 lead thanks to victories at No. 1 and 3.
Filip Bogic and
Naoufal El Idrissi carried their momentum from the victory over St. Thomas Aquinas to aid them to an 8-4 victory in the top slot.
Anvar Akhmetov and
Adrian Beloqui followed up from their tiebreaking win from yesterday with an 8-5 triumph at No. 3.
Like yesterday, Bogic and El Idrissi collected straight set victories at No. 1 and 2 singles respectively while
Michele Gaspari followed suit with a 6-4, 6-1 win at No. 4. Those matches clinched the fifth dual win of the season for the Lions.
The women dominated their opponents, and it showed in doubles.
Tereza Melicharkova and
Clara Piccamiglio paired up at No. 1 and blanked their opponents while
Anna Barbasheva and
Rebeca Aguilar cruised to an 8-2 victory at No. 2.
Haya Hamed and
Alexis McCarthy topped those off with an 8-2 win of their own at No. 3.
In singles, the women had little to no trouble at No. 1, 3, 4, and 6 as each cruised to easy straight-set wins. Barbasheva and
Diana Castro needed close super-tiebreakers to close out their matches at 2 and 5 respectively and the overall dual.
Both teams will play for the third day in a row tomorrow as the women face Seton Hill and the men play against Western Connecticut State in Orlando, Fla.
