LIVINGSTON, Ala. – The University of West Alabama women's tennis team evened its overall season record to 4-4 with a dominating 9-0 victory over West Georgia on Tuesday afternoon.
 
The UWA women rolled past the Wolves at every court, winning each doubles position by at least six games while claiming five straight-set wins in singles. The closest UWG could get the entire day was a shortened three-set tiebreaker at the sixth and final position.

Emily Gerding and Courtney McDonald then gave West Alabama a 3-0 lead with an impressive 8-2 triumph at position No. 3.
 
Needing just two wins to clinch the match, UWA won all six singles courts with relative ease. Natalia Cardenas took a 6-2, 6-1 win at the top court, while Cuellar added a 6-0, 6-0 victory at the second spot. Those wins were then followed by Popova's 6-1, 6-0 win and Gerding's 6-1, 6-0 defeat of her UWG opponent.
