KENNESAW, Ga. – Sparked by a complete team effort, the Kennesaw State women's tennis team recorded a 7-0 victory over visiting NJIT Thursday (April 7) at Betty L. Siegel Student Recreation & Activities Center in Kennesaw.
 
The Owls (2-15, 1-3) won two of the three doubles matches to capture the doubles point then swept through singles play.
 
"We have been improving all season and today really showed that," assistant head coach Miranda Foley said. "The girls were very business-like in their approach and we were on it from the start. We will celebrate our victory and then look to re-focus for USC Upstate on Saturday."
 
Cristina Martin and Alexandra Mercado posted a 6-1 victory at No. 1 doubles and Grabiela Bueno and Isabela Castro were credited with a win by default at No. 3 doubles. The No. 2 doubles match that included Laura Hopton and Ashleigh De Wet was not completed.
