The Crimson Tide downed the Hoosiers and the Bisons, 4-0 on Saturday

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama women's tennis team continued its dominance on its opponents early on this season after capturing two more shutout victories on Saturday inside the Roberta Alison Baumgardner Indoor Tennis Facility. The Crimson Tide (4-0) downed the Indiana Hoosiers (0-1), before blanking the Lipscomb Bisons (0-1), each by a score of 4-0.

The Tide has yet to give up a point so far in 2020 after the team earned two 7-0 wins to start the season on Jan. 18.

From Coach Mainz

"I think we played some good tennis today," said head coach Jenny Mainz. "I thought Indiana was a good team that is well-coached and I thought their doubles teams were fantastic. I was really glad that we got the doubles point and then we had a solid start to singles. We competed well all day. In the second match, in doubles we were aggressive and got another good start in singles. I feel like we got better today."

Doubles (vs. IU)

The Tide started off with a quick doubles win on court two with senior Alba Cortina Pou and freshman Isabella Harvison blanking Bernard/McKamey, 6-0. Following a defeat on court one, senior Ann Selim and freshman Ares Teixido clinched the doubles point after a hard-fought 7-6(4) win to give Alabama the 1-0 lead.

Singles (vs. IU)

The Crimson Tide showed its dominance in singles action with Teixido increasing the advantage to 2-0 after her 7-5, 6-0 victory over Jelly Bozovic on court four. Later on, Cortina Pou downed Alexandra Staiculescu, 6-3, 6-3, while freshman Isabella Harvison eased to a 6-4, 6-2 win just minutes later to clinch the match at 4-0.
