GREENVILLE, S.C. – The Alabama women's tennis team concluded its first tournament of the 2024-25 season Sunday at the Debbie Southern Fall Classic. The Crimson Tide collected a total of six victories, which included at least one win from each of the three UA student-athletes.
Head Coach Jonatan Berhane's Comments
"Overall, I think we had a good first tournament to open the season. We had some good matches, and some that could have been executed better, but the more we play, the better we will get. As a team, we will continue to work on our grit and mental stamina in matches, so we can be a little tougher."
