JONESBORO, Ark. – Gamecock women's tennis returned to their winning ways on Saturday morning, handing Arkansas State a 6-1 setback at the Jonesboro Country Club. Jacksonville State won a competitive doubles point and never looked back, scoring a victory in their first ever meeting with A-State.
Jax State (4-4) claimed the match's opening point on Saturday. Polina Ramenskaja and Serafima Shastova picked up a 6-2 win in the first flight to set up a winner-take-all showdown in No. 3 doubles. In the end, the tandem of Irene Artigas and Dariana Prato survived in two-on-two play for the Red-and-White, posting a 7-5 result to send the Gamecocks into singles action with a one-point advantage.
Singles play went in a similar fashion for the visitors from the Yellowhammer State. Arkansas State (4-4) dropped the first three singles matches to allow Jacksonville State to clinch the match. Shastova (6-3, 6-0), Ramenskaja (6-1, 6-4), and Prato (6-4, 6-0) rolled to triumphs in the top three courts to secure a match victory before the final three flights were played out. Zuzana Pavelekova added a narrow three-set win, 6-2, 6-7 (5-7), 1-0 (11-9), and Artigas closed out the afternoon with a 6-3, 7-6 (7-5) result on court five.
The Gamecocks continue their weekend road trip with another matchup tomorrow. They will take on Central Arkansas in a neutral site pairing at the Leftwich Tennis Center in Memphis, Tenn. First serve in the Volunteer State is set for 8:30 a.m. Sunday.
