ELLISVILLE, Miss. – The Loyola University New Orleans men's and women's tennis teams got back to their winning ways on Wednesday, as the teams traveled to Mississippi to face Jones College. It was an 8-1 win for the women and a 6-3 win for the men to complete the season sweep, as the teams also met once in the fall semester.
Loyola's No. 12-ranked women's team is back to .500 on the season, 6-6, after the win. The Wolf Pack men improved to a 4-6 overall record. The Bobcats were previously undefeated this season before taking on the Pack.
The teams played the format used by the NJCAA, where each singles and doubles match counts for a point towards the team score.
The Pack got two points in doubles play in both matches. Lucy Carpenter and Fatima Vasquez cruised to an 8-4 win at No. 1 doubles, as did Madelynn Chavez and Selma Fereres at No. 3. On the men's side, Herman Aure and Remus Hebhang-Balan also won 8-4 at No. 1 doubles, while Theo Debackere and Diego Rodriguez Tobar won a close one, 9-8 at the No. 2 position.
Loyola's women's team swept every singles match, with Vasquez, Chavez, Reilly Briggs, Ana Cecilia Castillo, and both Lucy and Elly Carpenter earning singles wins. Lucy and Chavez each didn't drop a single point in their matches.
The men's team needed three singles victories to clinch the match, and the team got four, with Debackere, Hebhang-Balan, Aure, and Rodriguez going undefeated on the day in singles and doubles.
Next up, the Wolf Pack return to conference play with three-straight matches at the SSAC Round-Up in Montgomery, Ala. The first match is a men's and women's doubleheader against Tougaloo, scheduled for March 31.
