SAN ANTONIO - The Texas A&M-Kingsville women's tennis program brought the first weekend of the fall season to a close on Saturday with a strong performance in the singles bracket as three Javelinas came away with a perfect score in their respective match at the St. Mary's Quad hosted at the Annemarie Tennis Center in San Antonio.

The first doubles flight came to an end with senior Valerie Ruiz (San Antonio, Texas) and sophomore Maya Donkor (McLean, Va.) putting together a clean 8-0 sweep of Mary Eby and Madison Starr from Texas Lutheran. The duo Senior Victoria Romanovskaia (Simferopol, Crimea, Russia) and newcomer Franka Sindicic (Zagreb, Croatia) were unable to follow suit as they fell 8-6 to Abigail Csengery and Charli Delmonico from StMU.

Freshman Daniela Koleva (Kocani, North Macedonia) and senior Stephanie Baerman (San Antonio, Texas) were locked in a bitter struggle with the Rattlers' Gabriella Ioannou and Grace Bell in the second flight, but couldn't overcome their counterparts as the hosts added a 9-8 decision. Junior Laura Montalvo (Cochabamba, Bolivia) and senior Julia Rauer (Leiselheim, Germany), however, were able to capture a win as they bested TLU's Bailey Denton and Jade Sosa to wrap up the bracket.
