Undefeated Islanders Sweep Texas A&M-Kingsville 7-0

KINGSVILLE, Texas – Remaining unbeaten on the season, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's tennis program cruised to a 7-0 victory over Texas A&M-Kingsville on Wednesday at the Javelina Tennis Courts.
 
A&M-Corpus Christi improved to 8-0 on the year. The Islanders are now 41-1 in singles and 20-1 in doubles. The team has swept six consecutive opponents.
 
"I thought our girls were flat out tough today. On the road against a rival is always tough and our girls came out with great energy and determination today. I thought they were really committed to playing every point tough and smart. I thought our captains did a great job with their example in the singles and the team really followed. I think these girls are rapidly improving and have great character and commitment," said head coach Steve Moore.
 
The Islanders quickly won the doubles point with wins at the No. 2 and 3 positions. Freshmen Emma Honore and Emma Aucagne breezed to a 6-0 win, and freshmen Leopoldine Boisseau and Victorie Dellatre followed with a 6-1 victory. The teams played out No. 1 doubles and sophomores Camille Townsend and Mariya Shumeika finished on top 6-4.
 
In singles, Delattre dropped just one game at the No. 6 position in a 6-0, 6-1 win. The closest match came at No. 4 singles, but was still a straight set win for Aucagne 6-4, 6-4.
 
Shumeika, the reigning SLC Player of the Week winner, made quick work at No. 2 singles in a 6-2, 6-0 victory.
 
The Islanders are now 4-0 all-time against Texas A&M-Kingsville with wins in each of the last three years.
 
The women have a quick turnaround as they'll be in action again tomorrow on the road at Rice. The match starts at 2 p.m.
