FLORENCE – After taking an early lead in doubles play, the University of North Alabama women's tennis team won three of the first four singles points to pick up a 4-1 victory over Alabama State Sunday at the UNA Varsity Tennis Courts. The second straight win gives the Lions a 5-9 record on the season.

Identical 6-2 victories at the No. 3 and No. 1 doubles spots set the tone for UNA. Sydney Flesch and Lee-Taylor Bishop recorded the first win at No. 3 doubles. Megan Humphreys and Payton Andrews clinched the point with the win at No. 1 by the same score. With the win, the duo improved to 3-1 on the season.

Nina Linke and Kalais Going led 4-3 at No. 2 when play was stopped.

"We are playing really well in doubles right now," said UNA head tennis coach Brice Bishop. "We started fast again, which has been key for us in doubles play."

In singles play, Nicole Reilly's 6-1, 6-1 victory at No. 6, followed by 6-2, 6-2 triumph by Going at No. 5 gave the Lions a 3-0 overall lead.

Alabama State picked up a victory at the top position before Payton Andrews clinched the match by rallying for a 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 win at No. 2 singles.

The two quick points by Nicole and Kalais in singles play was huge since we were trailing on the other four courts at the time," said Bishop. "We just kept grinding and found a way to get the win."

The UNA women host Western Kentucky on Monday. Match time is set for 1 p.m.
