CLINTON, SC. – The Kennesaw State women's tennis team dominated Presbyterian 7-0 at the Templeton Tennis Courts on Saturday afternoon. The win gives KSU (2-0) its first 7-0 match sweep since the 2016 season when it defeated New Jersey Institute of Technology 7-0 on Apr. 7.
 
For the second consecutive match, the Owls picked up the doubles point. Taylor Dean/Kat Muzik earned a 6-3 win on court one, while Sofia Pinedo/Soomin Kim secured the doubles point with a 6-3 victory from court three. Ji Youn Lee/Valentina Taddia were up 5-4, but the match went unfinished due to victories from Dean/Muzik and Pinedo/Kim.
 
KSU quickly claimed five singles matches in two sets to secure the win. The Owls jumped out to a lead with wins from Muzik (6-0, 6-2) and Pinedo (6-0, 6-2).

Start time will be decided next week. Tomorrow's scheduled match with Gardner-Webb (Jan. 16) has been cancelled due to inclement weather.
