GEORGETOWN, KY - (14 Apr 2016) - No. 3-ranked Lindsey Wilson women's tennis swept host Georgetown (KY) 9-0 today at the Lackey Tennis Center.

The Blue Raiders secure at least a share of the Mid-South Conference regular season title with the win with one conference match remaining this season.


Lindsey Wilson (14-4, 6-0 in the Mid-South) took control of the match with all three wins in doubles play over the Tigers - who are the first team outside the NAIA Women's Tennis Top 25 Poll.

Jessica King and Fiona Curty cruised in the second-seeded match with an 8-1 win over Kelly Swanson and Kaelin Roberts to give the Blue Raiders a 1-0 lead. The duo -- ranked No. 24 in the NAIA -- improves to 13-3 on the season. The 13 wins are the most on the team.

Maria Prados Cid and Alex Shchipakina pushed the Lindsey Wilson lead to 2-0 in the third-seeded match. The pair -- who improves to 10-0 on the season -- beat Amanda Moore and Abigail Kennedy 8-4.

Eighth-ranked Henar Munoz and Natalia Kattah made it a clean sweep in doubles with an 8-3 win over Shae Henry and Natalie Fiepke in the top-seeded match. Munoz and Kattah move to 9-2 on the season with the win.

Prados Cid collected the first point in singles and the fourth point of the day for the Blue Raiders with a win in the fourth-seeded match. She captured her team-best 11th straight win with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Swanson.

Shchipakina notched the decisive fifth point of the match with a win in the second-seeded singles match. She posted her seventh straight win and her 10th in 11 singles matches this season with a 6-4, 6-0 win over Moore.

Munoz, Kattah and Curty each won in straight sets while King come from a set down to defeat Roberts 1-6, 6-2, 6-1 in the third-seeded match.

Georgetown slips to 15-7 overall and 5-2 in the MSC with the loss.
