BIRMINGHAM, ALA. - Middle Tennessee's women's tennis team continue to roll on the road on Sunday afternoon after the Blue Raiders sweep C-USA foe UAB 4-0.
The Blue Raiders started the afternoon in the right way with Costanza Magazzini and Kim Kermet easily taking the first doubles match, 6-3. The second court was throwing blows back and forth knotted at 3-3. The Blazers took the lead on two 4-3 but Zani Barnard and Lee Barnard hoisted the win in a 7-5 tiebreaker.
MT kept things rolling right on into singles play. Junior Marta Peris Herrero did not have an opponent to play so she received the forfeit win, she has won five-straight.
