FLORENCE, Ala. (March 4, 2024) – The University of North Alabama women's tennis team won its fifth consecutive dual Monday afternoon, sweeping Mississippi Valley State at the UNA Tennis Complex, 6-0.

North Alabama has now won five straight matches and six of the last seven. The Lions move to 7-2 overall, while Mississippi Valley State is still in search of their first win of the year.

In the first of two duals this week, UNA started strong with a sweep over the Devilettes. Two quick 6-0 wins in doubles set up four 6-0, 6-0 results in singles to cap the dominant display.

UNA's top flight pair of Senior Kalais Going and freshman Marta Serra Carles earned the first win of the day with a victory over MVSU's Toni Carter and Alexus Johnson. Junior Anoek Pruijmboom and freshman Ada Karabacak followed with a second flight win over Naterra Young and Emani Burnett.

Going, Serra Carles and Pruijmboom all replicated their performances in singles, with sophomore Valeria San Miguel also picking up a win for North Alabama.
