HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- The Southern Miss (5-0, 0-0 C-USA) Women's Tennis team registered its third shutout of the season on Saturday when they blanked Nicholls (1-5) 7-0 at the Southern Miss Tennis Facility. In the win, Southern Miss moved its unbeaten streak to five matches.
In doubles play, Southern Miss extended its record to a perfect 12-0. Monique Burton and Medik blanked Simona Maksimovic and Laura Lopez on court one, 6-0. The Golden Eagles clinched the doubles point when De la Garza and Lee snagged a 6-2 win over Carla Bouygues and Morgan Forshag. Amaning and Yazgan went unfinished on court three.
