ORLANDO – The No. 13 University of North Georgia women’s tennis team kicked off their spring break trip with a convincing 4-1 win over Northwood Sunday.

Competing at the USTA national facility, the Nighthawks were in a battle early, having to rely on a deciding doubles match. With the doubles tied at 1-1, Emma Etelalahti and Adrienne Bofinger pulled out a 7-5 win at No. 2 doubles to clinch the point.

Following this win, UNG carried their momentum into singles play, starting much quicker. Vaishali Jorge won early at No. 1 singles and Claudelle Labonte Frey followed suit, winning 6-1, 6-1 at No. 5. Holly Bennett ended the match shortly thereafter, clinching the match, 6-4, 6-2, at No. 3 singles.

The Nighthawks are back playing on Tuesday, against Texas-Tyler at 3 p.m. The match will once again be played at the national facility.
