afternoon, the Anderson men's and women's tennis teams blew past
South Atlantic Conference opponent Newberry by identical, 9-0,
margins Thursday afternoon at the Max Grubbs Tennis Courts. The
Trojans' women's team improved to 2-4 on the year, while the
scarlet and gray fell to 1-3 on the young season. Anderson's men's
team moved one match above .500 at 3-2 and dropped Newberry to 1-2.
Both Anderson teams swept the doubles' matches, while Anderson's
Angie Solorzano picked up a hard-fought win at No. 1 singles and
the rest of the squad followed suit, blanking the scarlet and gray.
With her straight-set win at No. 4, Julie Halbert improved to 5-1
on the year. On the men's courts, AU's Stephane Murray claimed a
straight-set 6-2, 6-4 win, setting the tone for the afternoon.

the Week, stayed perfect on the season (5-0) with a 6-0, 6-4 win at
No. 5 singles. Anderson will be back in action on Friday when the
