MONTEVALLO, Ala. – After dropping the first match of the day at the No.1 singles position, the University of West Alabama women's tennis team rebounded to take an 8-1 triumph over Montevallo Tuesday afternoon.
 
UWA started the day off with a clean sweep at all three doubles courts as the Tiger tandem of Jill Furlong and Lisa Becker ousted Montevallo's Nikola Polcerova and Helene Nordgreen 9-8 at the first position, while Angy Cuellar and Dasha Popova ousted a Falcon pair by a score of 8-3.
 
The Tigers then completed the doubles' sweep with an 8-3 win by Emily Gerding and Courtney McDonald at the third position.
 
Up 3-0, the Tigers needed just two wins to clinch the match. That feat proved to be an easy task for West Alabama as Popova ousted Amy McGucken by a score of 6-0, 6-0, before teammate Lisa Becker clinched the match with a 6-0, 6-0 win at the fifth position over Megan Stevens.
 
With the score now at 5-0, UWA went on to get big wins from Natalia Cardenas, Angy Cuellar, and Emily Gerding to give the Tigers eight total points on the day.
