NATCHITOCHES, La. - Two tournaments into the fall season and the Stephen F. Austin tennis team has lost a total of one doubles' match. That didn't change this weekend at the Northwestern State Invitational in Natchitoches, La., as SFA won both the flight 1 and 2 singles titles, and the flight 1 doubles title, improving their overall fall record to 23-1 between singles and doubles play.
Tereza Bekerova defeated Northwestern State's Olga Bazhanova, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3) to take the top singles flight title, while classmate Malena Gordo beat the Lady Demons' Andrea Nedorostova, 6-3, 6-2, for the flight 2 title.
The duo combined to win two doubles matches to complete the perfect weekend. They bounced Louisiana-Monroe's Medy Blankvoort and Monica Winkel, 8-4, and returned to the court for an 8-4 victory over Northwestern State's Linda Gamo and Olga Bazhanova for the title.
SFA will continue their fall schedule Monday when they travel to Waco, Texas, to compete in the Waco ITF tournament.
