Women’s Tennis Falls Short to Alabama A&M

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Savannah State University women’s tennis team (0-4) fell to Alabama A&M 4-3 in Olean Black Underwood Tennis Center Saturday.

The Lady Tigers lost the doubles point to go down 1-0 after SSU’s doubles team of Sandy Lochu and Elizabeth Geronimo fell to AAMU’s doubles team of Virag Hollos and Rida Khalid 6-3 at the No. 1 doubles position and SSU’s doubles team of Rachida Kateb and Jennyfer Vivas fell to AAMU’s doubles team of Orianna Rodriguez/Shrarre Smith 6-2 at the No. 2 doubles position.  SSU did win at the No. 3 doubles position with Bria Burrows and Tiffany Williams winning by default since Alabama A&M did not have enough players to fill the final doubles position.
