LEXINGTON, KY - The Lindsey Wilson College women's tennis team captured its eighth straight Mid-South Conference Tournament title today with a 5-0 win over Campbellsville University in the finals at the Boone Tennis Center.



Due to wet courts from the overnight and early morning rains in the Lexington area, the match was moved inside to the Boone Tennis Center's four-court indoor facility.

The top-seeded Blue Raiders (15-3) won all three doubles matches to sprint out to a 3-0 lead over the second-seeded Tigers (13-6).

Lindsey Wilson's Anna Gaprindashvili and Rocio Cardo claimed the first point of the day with an 8-4 win over Lindy Charity and Stacey Drew in the third-seeded doubles.

The top-seeded team of Trina Slapeka and Slavica Milanovic pushed the lead to 2-0 a few moments later with an 8-2 win over Anna Tumanyan and Aspen Edwards.

Diana Gerlakh and Laura Vergara completed the doubles sweep with an 8-5 win over Megan Charity and Jenna Sallee in No. 2 doubles.

In the singles matches, Lindsey Wilson dropped just two games in the matches that finished en route to the title.
