Winston-Salem, NC-The Salem College tennis team split two home matches this week. After falling 9-0 to Meredith, they came back to crush Greensboro 8-0. Andrea Akers cruised to victory against Greensboro at number one singles and teamed with DeAnna Wilkins to win easily at number one doubles.
"I was proud of our team for bouncing back from a tough match against Meredith," said Head Coach Kevin Fleck. "We turned things around and had a much better day overall. Our doubles continues to improve and we look forward to building on our progress thus far. We were unable to finish the number two singles match due to rain. We look forward to having a great match with Lees McRae this weekend."
Wilkins had the closest match of the day against Meredith. She also cruised to a win at number three singles against Greensboro.
