SWAC Round-Up Done Right: Lady Jaguars pick up four consecutive wins

Southern women’s tennis team has always found avenues to pick up victories in the Southwestern Athletic Conference hence their last championship reign in 2014. This made them become a force that aren’t to be reckoned with.
In the SWAC East/West Roundup this past weekend, Southern showed their spirit in the Western Division as they sequestered four straight victories and only came out with one loss within the respective sets in Jackson, Mississippi.
Head coach of the Lady Jaguars, Jeff Conyers had instilled greatness and valuable virtues but it never was imagined in such a manner in which the round-up became the Jaguars’ playground.
On Friday, February 27 Southern blasted through Western rivals, Grambling State, with seven straight victories in the sets and in the same day gave Eastern division contenders, Alabama A&M, poetic justice with seven straight as well. In singles competition on such date, Southern could not be outmatched and didn’t offer any close wins for the opposition to admire.
On Saturday, February 28, Eastern division, Alcorn State brought tough opposition for Southern to master. Sophomore, Darnesha Moore offered the first loss while facing Siobhan Ryan-Bovey (6-0, 6-2) in the second set. Senior, Gabrielle Moore brought an inner match loss to SU in the 4th match (6-7) against Kate Potapova and in the 6th set when senior, Camara Davis, (2-6) issued a match to Aakanksha Punj. Even with these results, Southern still picked up the win swiftly with their 3-0 reign and calling a (6-1) victory.
The last part of the roundup against University-Arkansas Pine Bluff, Southern once again swept a team (7-0).
Southern continuing to the stretch is readying to face in-state rival, Southeastern on the tennis courts at Southern University March 4 after their last 0-4 loss when they visited their tennis courts. Southern will be searching for a win out of conference in their verge of roundup excellence.
