MORROW, Ga. – Taking on the NAIA National Runner-Up, and 2014 National Champion, Clayton State (2-8, 1-5 PBC) could not match No. 2 Georgia Gwinnett (8-1, 0-0 AII) as they fell 9-0 in a non-conference women's tennis match on Friday, March 18.
 
The Grizzlies would sweep doubles play with 8-1 and 8-0 victories at No. 3 and No. 2 doubles and close it out with an 8-3 decision over senior Raluca Pavel (Bacau, Romania) and junior Kristiin Mets (Kuressaare, Estonia) at the top spot.
 
It would be the top and bottom of the order that would secure the match victory for GGC in singles action. A 6-0, 6-1 decision at No. 6 would be the first half of that while Pavel battled the No. 1 player in the country, Valeria Podda, before falling 6-1, 6-1.
 
From there, the Lakers highlights would come from junior Darina Drozdova (St. Petersburg, Russia) and sophomore Alina Ageichik (Minsk, Republic of Belarus). Drozdova would put up a fight against No. 5 Alyona Vasileva, eventually falling 6-1, 6-4, and Ageichik would push No. 15 Helga Pinones-Haltenhoff to the limit. She would drop the first set by a narrow 6-4 margin and fall 7-5 in the second set.
 
The Lakers are back in action at home on Sunday, March 20 when they host Alabama Huntsville. First serve is set for 12 p.m. in Morrow, Georgia.
