TROY, Ala. \u2014 Kennesaw State women’s tennis secured its first win of the season in a 4-2 defeat of Troy on Wednesday afternoon at Lunsford Tennis Complex.<\/p>\n
“Wow, what a great college match,” said KSU director of tennis Matt Emery<\/a>. “This one came down to which team wanted it more, and we were very resilient and gritty when a lot of stuff didn’t go our way. I’m really proud of how all the women responded today to beat a very good Troy team on the road. We will need that same fight and Owl heart on Friday against a good UAB team on the road.”<\/p>\n KSU jumped out to a 3-0 lead with wins in doubles as well as on courts three and six. The Trojans rallied to a 3-2 match after winning in No. 1 and No. 5 singles.<\/p>\n Izabelle Persson<\/a> clinched the match for the Owls with a win over Troy’s Sama Hindawy on court four. Persson took set one 6-2 and bounced back from a 4-6 second set to win the match with a 6-4 third set.<\/p>\n Maria Ivankovic<\/a> and Terezia Baraniakova<\/a> recorded KSU’s second and third points of the day with singles victories on courts three and six, respectively. Ivankovic defeated Alexia Zarate in straight sets (7-5, 6-3), while Baraniakova overcame Emilia Namyslo 6-4, 4-6, 6-1.<\/p>\n KSU positioned itself well early with wins in No. 1 and No. 2 doubles. Ema Baraniakova<\/a> and Sofia Madrid<\/a> recorded their second doubles win in as many matches with a 6-1 decision on court one over Hindawy and Maria Guirguis. Persson and Rianna Coreisa<\/a> then finished off doubles with a 7-5 win on court two over Zarate and Leena Metwally.<\/p>\n Up Next The Owls Fund Read Full Article<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
