BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Drexel women's tennis team shutout Duquesne on Sunday, 4-0. The Dragons have now won eight in a row, tying their longest win streak in the past 10 years. Drexel won eight in a row during the 2014-15 season. With that win the Dragons advance to 8-1 and the Dukes drop to 4-4.
The Dragons clinched the doubles point by winning the No. 2 and No. 3 matchups. The No. 2 match featured the duo of Ghita Benhadi and Cristina Corte González who defeated their opponent, 6-3. Mya Fuentes and Tara Veluvolu put away their third seeded opponents by a score of 6-2. The first seeded match featuring Salma Ziouti and Šárka Richterová went unfinished.
In singles play, Drexel continued its dominance by clinching the match after No. 4 Fuentes ended her match with a 6-4, 6-3 win . Ziouti, playing at first singles, earned a straight-set win by the score of 6-2, 6-3. Benhadi was victorious at the second spot, defeating her opponent in straight sets (7-5, 6-2).
Richterová's third seeded match, Marta Martinez's fifth seeded match and González's sixth seeded match went unfinished.
Drexel will return to the Hecht and Hamlin Tennis Center but not as the home team. Instead, the team will be facing Penn in a road match on Feb. 28 at 11 a.m.
