Alabama Women's Tennis Completes Saturday Sweep: Roll Call

Alabama women's tennis continued its hot start to the season with two wins at home on Saturday. The Crimson Tide beat Alcorn State, 4-0, and UAB, 5-1, in a doubleheader sweep at the Roberta Alison Baumgardner Tennis Facility.

“We started the day very strong in our match against Alcorn State," head coach Jonatan Berhane said in a press release. "The team did a good job of competing on each court and not letting any awkwardness linger during the match. Against UAB, we began doubles play a bit timidly, while they did a great job during doubles play. However, the girls bounced back in singles play and competed strongly. We will continue to build and improve as a team after each match we play.”

Alabama is 6-0 to start dual season for the first time since the 2021-22 season. Up next, the Crimson Tide will hit the road for the first time this season, traveling to Minneapolis for a pair of matches on Friday, Feb. 13, and Saturday, Feb. 14 against Colorado and Minnesota.
