SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo women's tennis downed State College of Florida on Saturday, 9-0. The sweep marks the squad's second sweep of the season.

Head Coach Chad Berryhill said, "The ladies did a good job this weekend playing three matches in three days with a scrimmage between two official matches. We are definitely improving and headed in the right direction. Our doubles play has been strong to start the year, unlike last year, where we struggled in the early part of the season in doubles, so is good to see us making good strides with a young group."

Marta Vicens Miquel and Maja Pindelska won first doulbes 8-0 followed by Kristyna Jurkova and Madeleine Gauthier also with 8-0 win in second doubles. State College of Florida forfeited third doubles.

In singles play, Marta Vicens Miquel took first singles 6-3, 4-6, 10-6. Kristyna Jurkova in second singles won 6-2, 6-2. Madeleine Gauthier earned a long third singles win, 1-6, 6-0, 15-13. Fourth and fifth single wins were posted by Fabiola Cardenas 6-0, 6-0 and Sophie Vlietstra 6-0, 6-0. South College of Florida forfeited sixth singles.
