LAFAYETTE, La. – Old Dominion women’s tennis added to its road win streak after downing Louisiana 4-0 on Friday afternoon.

“Rough, windy conditions today,” ODU Head Coach Dominic Manilla said. “The practice and match play we have gone through in tough conditions are paying off. We are becoming tougher and tougher because of it. There are things that we need to improve upon but this group has handled each task we have put before them with urgency. I’m pleased with where we are physically and mentally heading into the last three matches of conference play.”

No. 1 Sofia Johnson and Victoria Matasova got the day started with a 6-0 doubles win over Angelique Berrat and Jenaila Prulla. No. 3 Marina Markina and Kira Matushkina followed suit by downing Karolina Skowronska and Ricio Amoros Navarro 6-2, suspending No. 2 Ulyana Romanova’s and Lidiia Rasskouskaia’s match against Ana Martinez Vaquero and Nina Krecklenberg (5-3).

No. 1 Johnson continued her winning ways by earning the first singles match win against Berrat (6-2, 6-2). No. 2 Matushkina put the Monarchs one point away from claiming the match after besting Prulla (6-2, 6-3), allowing No. 3 Rasskouskaia to seal ODU’s win after defeating Amoros Navarro (7-5, 6-0). 

No. 4 Romanova’s, No. 5 Matasova’s, and No. 6 Markina’s matches against respective opponents Martinez Vaquero (2-6, 6-3, 1-1), Krecklenberg (4-6, 4-3), and Skowronska (3-6, 6-1, 3-1) were suspended.
