WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. – James Madison women's tennis used a 3-0 sweep through doubles competition as a spark for a 6-1 win against Morehead State at the Greenbrier on Saturday afternoon.
The Dukes, winners of three straight matches, sit at 4-2 overall with a 1-0 mark in Colonial Athletic Association action. The Eagles are 0-7 in spring duals thus far.
JMU jumped out to a 4-0 lead to clinch the match early, beginning with a complete sweep of doubles play for a 1-0 advantage. Junior Rachel Nelson and freshman Emma Petersen opened with a 6-0 win over Lindsey Wild and Alek Savic at No. 3 doubles before junior Timea Guibe and freshman Bella Heidenreich dropped Hayley Wild and Maria Orenella 6-1 at No. 2 doubles for the opening point. The victory marked the third straight for Guibe and Heidenreich as a duo.
In their only action of the day, freshman Abby Amos and junior Rebecca Harris stretched their dual record to record to 4-0 with a 6-2 win over Zina Mehikic and Ayaka Terashi at No. 1 doubles.
Sophomore Kimmy Herrock kept the momentum rolling for JMU with a two-set win (6-3, 6-4) over Orenella at No. 3 singles to start solo play. The Tarpon Springs, Fla. native has won seven straight singles matches dating back to tournament play.
Guibe followed with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Terashi at No. 1 singles, setting Petersen up to secure match point at No. 4 singles with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Hayley Wild.
At No. 5 singles, sophomore Dylan Owens notched her seventh consecutive win with a two-set decision (7-5, 6-4) against Savic. At No. 6 singles, Heidenreich blanked Lindsey Wild in straight 6-0 sets to round out the scoring for JMU.
JMU continues its stay at the Greenbrier tomorrow when the Dukes take on West Virginia at 10 a.m.
QUOTING HEAD COACH JAMES BRYCE
"Today was our best start to a match all year. We have definitely been improving in that area. Morehead is a good team that fights very hard, and we had to focus on our game plan and execute. Tomorrow is another chance to improve and get better as a team."
