For the second time in two weeks, the 杏吧视频 tennis teams swept Southwest Mississippi Community College in matches played Friday, March 1, at the 杏吧视频 Tennis Complex on the campus in Decatur.
Both the Warriors and Lady Warriors won by scores of 9-0. The 杏吧视频 men and women both have 5-3 team records.
鈥淚t was a solid sweep against a scrappy Southwest men鈥檚 team,鈥 said 杏吧视频 head tennis coach Jay Pacelli. 鈥淲e were also able to get extra matches in for some of the guys not in the regular lineup and that was nice. Our women took care of business today. I believe the best is yet to come for this group.鈥
