Score Sheet
The Racers (5-10, 2-1 OVC) and the Lady Tigers did not compete in doubles competition first after being forced to move inside due to inclement weather and a short supply of indoor courts. The match was decided after the singles matches so the doubles were not contested.
“We executed very well today,” said head coach Connie Keasling. “We were also mentally into all of the matches. We will look to continue this performance in our match tomorrow and on Saturday.”
Senior Alexis Webb was the first to finish, with a sweep (6-0, 6-0) of Khadijah Williams at No. 3 singles. Junior Cassidy Cunitz followed with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Krystan Mason at No. 1 singles. Sophomore Ashley Canty then recorded a 6-0, 6-1 win over Shardel Suber at No. 2 singles.
Senior Lindsey Wiseman secured the victory with a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 4 singles over Lezlie Knight. Freshman Carla Suga wrapped up the match with a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 5 singles over Kwetma Mensah.
MSU will play again Thursday, March 31 in Martin, Tenn. The Racers will battle with the Skyhawks starting at 2 p.m. at the Skyhawks Varsity Courts. MSU will finish the week with a home match against Southeast Missouri, Saturday, April 2 at 2:30 p.m. The match will feature the annual Senior Day when seniors Alexis Webb and Lindsey Wiseman are honored.
