ATHENS, Ga. — The University of Georgia women's tennis team posted 11 wins – six singles and five doubles – on Saturday, during the second day of the Sea Pines College Tournament.
"There was a lot of great tennis played out here today," said Georgia head coach Jeff Wallace. "It is early in the Fall and everybody is looking to get matches in. Trying to see things that players need to work on and I think this tournament is giving a lot of the coaches the information. We're looking forward to one more day of the Sea Pines College Tournament tomorrow."
