UAB Blazers Burn Past MTSU in Dominant Tennis Victory

The UAB Women’s Tennis team continued their impressive form on Saturday, cruising to a dominant 6-1 victory over Middle Tennessee State University on the road. The Blazers wasted no time in asserting their authority, capturing the doubles point to take an early lead in the match.

While Clarke may have sealed the deal, the rest of the Blazers squad left no room for complacency, determined to make their mark on the scoreboard. Wasserbauerova battled through a grueling three-setter against Sana Garakani, eventually prevailing 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 in a display of grit and resilience.

Mackenzie White also showcased her fighting spirit, recovering from a set down to defeat Cassidy Mataia in a marathon encounter, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. Vanessa Mellynchuk and Enya Ratkic rounded out the scoring for UAB, both claiming hard-earned three-set victories of their own.

Head coach [Coach’s Name] was understandably pleased with her team’s performance, praising their mental toughness and unwavering determination. “Our girls showed incredible fighting spirit today,” she commented. “To win five out of six singles matches, several of them in three sets, is a true testament to their character and the hard work they’ve put in.”
