Coyotes down Hampton in Florida

LAKELAND, Fla. - South Dakota women's tennis posted its second straight victory during its spring break trip with Thursday's 4-0 win over Hampton at Beerman Family Tennis Center. 

The Coyotes (6-6) won all three doubles matches to claim the opening point of the match and were able to finish off the win by receiving a trio of retirements in singles play at No. 3, 4 and 5 singles.

The senior duo of Grace Chadick and Bea Havlickova moved to 7-3 on the dual season with a 6-0 blanking at No. 2 doubles. The sophomore tandem of Sorcha Caves and Amanda de Oliveira earned a 6-1 win at No. 1 and then Selena Bird and Katarina Curcic closed out a 6-3 win at No. 3.

"I'm proud of how energetic and sharp we came out in doubles," head coach Brett Barnett said. "Great energy by everyone and we did a great job playing our style of aggressive doubles.  

"I've never been involved in a match with so many players retire due to injuries so I hope they will be ok. We did a great job staying calm and playing smart tennis.  

Things certainly got interesting during singles play as de Oliveira's opponent at No. 3 singles retired after five games.

Chadick won the first set 6-0 and then her opponent retired at No. 5 singles and at No. 4 singles Bird won the opening set 6-1 and was up 1-0 in the second set. 

South Dakota closes its spring break trip with a Friday contest against Lamar at Lake Cane Tennis Center. 

"We've got another test with a solid Lamar team tomorrow," Barnett said. "It's time to compete hard again and play with a lot of heart on every court."
