HUNTSVILLE, Texas - Sam Houston State ended the Ladyjacks tennis season Thursday afternoon, beating SFA, 4-3. The Ladyjacks end the 2003 regular season with a 4-14 (.222) overall record and a 1-9 (.100) Southland Conference record.
The two teams split the singles play 3-3, with sophomore Robin Houston picking up a 5-7, 6-0, (10-6) victory at No. 1 singles. Classmates Melissa Bass and Ashley Johnson followed with singles victories at Nos. 5 and 6 singles. But missed opportunities in the doubles play cost SFA. Needing only one more victory to win the doubles point, and eventually the match, the Ladyjacks lost a 7-2 lead at the No. 2 spot, as SHSU went on to win the doubles point and the match.
