Box Score

CARBONDALE, Ill. - Senior Laura Horning got the only point for the SIUE women's tennis team in a 6-1 loss at SIU Carbondale Sunday afternoon.

"The result was certainly not what we were hoping for," said SIUE Head Coach Jason Coomer. "We saw glimpses of how good we can be, but we also saw glimpses of our youth today."

The loss drops the Cougars to 4-4 overall while the Salukis remain unbeaten at 3-0.

Horning defeated SIU Carbondale's Gisela Cairo Baza in straight sets 6-1, 6-4 at the No. 5 singles position as she improved her record to 6-1 in singles action this season.

"I am happy the way Laura stepped up again for us," added Coomer. "She played one of the best matches of her career, and continues to show improvement every time she steps on the court."

The Salukis picked up the first point by sweeping the three doubles positions before claiming the first five singles matches of the afternoon.

SIUE closes its season-long, seven-match road stretch with a contest at Western Kentucky March 2.
