(February 10, 2026) \u2013 The University of North Alabama women&#8217;s tennis team were victorious Tuesday afternoon over in-state rivals Jacksonville State, 4-1, in Jacksonville, Ala.<\/p>\n<p>North Alabama (4-2) continued its winning ways using a stellar display in singles play. Jacksonville State started fast with the doubles point, but momentum swung in favor of UNA when singles began. Four-straight wins on courts one, three, four and five sealed the road win and gave North Alabama its third-straight win of the season and third-straight series victory over the Gamecocks.<\/p>\n<p>Jacksonville State (3-2) opened the dual with doubles wins on courts one and three.<\/p>\n<p>Polina Ramenskaja and Emma Montagner started with a 6-2 win from court one over senior <a href=\"https:\/\/roarlions.com\/sports\/womens-tennis\/roster\/eeva-ristola\/4129\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4129\" target=\"_blank\">Eeva Ristola<\/a> and junior <a href=\"https:\/\/roarlions.com\/sports\/womens-tennis\/roster\/louise-booker\/4131\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4131\" target=\"_blank\">Louise Booker<\/a>. The Gamecocks&#8217; Angeles Rodriguez-Rizo and Sae Kaneko followed with the clinching win, defeating freshmen pair <a href=\"https:\/\/roarlions.com\/sports\/womens-tennis\/roster\/farah-asaad\/4132\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4132\" target=\"_blank\">Farah Asaad<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/roarlions.com\/sports\/womens-tennis\/roster\/sammie-schouten\/4130\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4130\" target=\"_blank\">Sammie Schouten<\/a> 6-4, from court three.<\/p>\n<p>The North Alabama comeback began with a dominant win from junior <a href=\"https:\/\/roarlions.com\/sports\/womens-tennis\/roster\/mathilde-delaney\/4126\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4126\" target=\"_blank\">Mathilde Delaney<\/a>. She went on to defeat the Gamecocks&#8217; Rodriguez-Rizo, 6-1, 6-1, from court three. UNA&#8217;s Schouten gave her team the 2-1-point advantage with a hard-fought, 6-1, 7-6 (7-2) triumph against Kaneko on court five.<\/p>\n<p>Booker also had a battle from court four, but she stood tall to take a 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 win against Jacksonville State&#8217;s Isabella Sambola. The clinching dual win came from the top flight with Ristola taking down Ramenskaja in three sets, 6-0, 4-6, 6-3.<\/p>\n<p>Ristola, Booker and Schouten each claimed their third singles victory of the season. Delaney&#8217;s win secured her second singles triumph in the early campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The two unfinished singles matches saw junior <a href=\"https:\/\/roarlions.com\/sports\/womens-tennis\/roster\/emma-ansorge\/4125\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4125\" target=\"_blank\">Emma Ansorge<\/a> and Asaad holding the advantage in their respective bouts.<\/p>\n<p>Ansorge was in the third set against Irene Artigas, leading 6-0, 6-7 (4-7), 2-1 from court two.
