This win brought the Mountaineers to 3-5 for the year so far. Berea started off strong in doubles play with Moyers/Witt picking up a quick 8-0 win over
Esteban/Porras. Doubles team Crawford/Bedolla also were able to grab a 8-5 win over Burdette/Pigman.
Cheyenne Guin played a great singles match and in a two hour effort Cheyenne fell short and lost a very tough match. Taylor Moyers clinched the 5th team point in 1 seed singles defeating Sofia Esteban 6-1 and 6-4. Due to time constraints coaches agreed to stop other matches still in progress after Berea clinched the team match.
"We picked up another good win Tuesday night. It was a little tricky going into the match. Even with SCC only having 5 players," said Coach Montgomery. "Cheyenne Guin played a great match lasting over 2 hours. Even though Cheyenne didn't get the end result that she wanted, I believe she learned some very valuable lessons and will be a better player because of it."
