Following a tough loss to No. 15 Miami, the Auburn women's tennis team returned home this weekend to sweep Samford, 7-0.
Pleun Burgmans and Paula de Man, the No. 30-ranked pair in the nation, clinched the doubles point for Auburn with a 7-6 (7-3) win on court two. Andie Dikosavljevic and Alannah Griffin notched their third straight doubles win, defeating Iva Parapunova and Savannah Wood 6-3.
Griffin took the court with dominance to notch a 6-1, 6-1 singles win over Elli Gerlach. Alizee Michaud captured her fourth straight victory for Auburn with a 6-2, 6-1 win, and No. 31-ranked Dikosavljevic clinched the victory for the Tigers, 6-1, 6-4, over Iva Parapunova.
"We struggled early in doubles, but came out with a win against a tough Samford team," said Auburn coach Lauren Spencer. "We have a lot to work on in doubles, but I was very impressed with how we performed in singles today. We will continue to work and improve as the season progresses."
The Tigers will host UT Martin and Troy Feb. 6 with the first match set against UT Martin at 11 a.m. at the Yarbrough Tennis Center.
