CLINTON, S.C. - The Charleston Southern tennis team cruised to a
third consecutive victory with a 6-1 triumph over Presbyterian
College on Saturday afternoon. CSU (12-3, 5-1) swept the doubles
portion of play, and earned wins at each of the first five singles
positions.
Olga Makhova dominated after not competing in singles play in
CSU's Friday win over UNC Asheville, as the two-time Big South
Player of the Year blanked PC's Paige Oelke in straight sets.
Alexandra Walters enjoyed a straight sets victory out of the number
three spot, but the Bucs proved their mettle to come out on top in
three-set battles in three other matchups.
Yvonne Hubler dropped her first set, 6-2, before bouncing back
for a pair of 6-1 wins, while Angelica Sidorenko sandwiched a pair
of 6-1 decisions around a 1-6 second-set setback.
Susita Das won a nip and tuck battle with the Blue Hose Caroline
de Loach at number five singles, claiming a pair of tiebreakers
including an 11-9 affair to clinch the match.
CSU had their way in doubles for a second consecutive day, with
Hubler and Walters improving their team-best mark in 8-4
fashion.
Next up for the Bucs is a trip to Buies Creek, N.C. for a
matchup with Campbell Friday at 2 p.m. The Fighting Camels
currently stand at 9-4 and 1-3 in league action.
