MACON, Ga. - The Kennesaw State women's tennis team was aided by singles wins from Jessica Cantrell and Kennedy Craig, but Mercer escaped with a 5-2 victory over the Owls Tuesday afternoon at the Leroy Peddy Tennis Center.

Craig collected a victory at No. 3 singles, defeating Marie Mottet, 6-3, 6-2.

Playing at No.5 singles, Cantrell beat Maeva Roquebert, 6-3, 6-3 to earn her first win of the dual match season.

Quotable
Assistant Head Coach Miranda Foley
"Doubles once again was right there for the taking but we fell short when it really mattered. As for singles, Kenny played a really solid singles match and got her first W for the season along with Jessica. I'm proud of them both for their individual performances today."

Kennesaw State returns to action on Saturday (Feb.10) at 2 p.m. at Western Carolina.
