CHARLESTON, S.C. – Alabama women's tennis' No. 34 nationally ranked doubles pair of sophomore Andie Daniell and senior Erin Routliffe won the doubles championship of the 2016 ITF 10k LTP Charleston tournament Saturday morning in Charleston, S.C. The victory marks the fourth consecutive match the dynamic duo won in straight sets.
Daniell and Routliffe dominated Whitney Kay and Quinn Gleason of the U.S., 6-4, 6-2, to clinch the championship. The two defeated a quality doubles opponent, as Kay finished last season at North Carolina with a No. 3 doubles ranking and an appearance in the semifinals of the NCAA tournament. Last season, Gleason closed out her career at Notre Dame ranked No. 33 with her partner in doubles play.
This weekend's tournament marks the first time that Daniell and Routliffe competed in the 2016 season.
Daniell and Routliffe will be back in action on Monday, Oct. 3, when the pair travels to Pacific Palisades, Calif., to compete in the annual Riviera ITA All-American Championships.
