SUMTER, S.C. – For the second straight season, the North Carolina A&T women’s tennis team is headed to the MEAC Tournament. The Aggies won twice at the 2010 Tennis Round, including a win over Norfolk State which guaranteed them a berth.
“Whenever you reach one of her goals for the season, it’s always good,’’ said head coach James Dunwoody. “Our young ladies really came to play. We have played some tough competition before coming to Sumter (S.C.). It was good to see the ladies still willing to be competitive.”
Junior Winnie Quick led the way for the Aggies with three wins during the round up. Quick also won three doubles matches along with senior Jaymee Jones. The Aggies defeated Norfolk State 6-1. It wasn’t easy for the Aggies. Jones had to outlast Jennifer Astbury 6-3, 6-4 in No. 1 singles. Nina Henry defeated Chenge Tsapayi 6-3.
The Aggies other win came against Maryland-Eastern Shore, which does not count toward their conference record. The Aggies were dominant against the Hawks. Three different Aggies won 6-0, 6-0, including Quick, Henry and Azeib Nigatu. Meanwhile, two of the three doubles matches ended 8-0 in favor of the Aggies.
N.C. A&T opened the round up with a 5-2 loss to Bethune-Cookman. Quick was able to defeat Stacey Lopez 6-4, 6-2 in No. 3 singles. Nigatu then defeated Andrea Paez 6-1, 6-1 in No. 6 singles. Nigatu leads the team in wins with four.
