Rebels Beat Jackson State Twice
OXFORD, Miss. -- The No.
37 ranked Ole Miss women’s team got a confidence boosting doubleheader
victory against Jackson State here Wednesday at the Palmer/Salloum
Tennis Center. With consecutive scores of 4-0, the Rebels move to
7-9 overall.
“We did what we needed to do,” head coach Mark Beyers said. “We
picked up two wins. I was proud of the girls, because they took
care of business and didn’t mess around and actually played pretty well
in some spots. It was clear we were the better team, but at the
same time I felt like we did a good job of not only winning, but
getting better today.”
The Rebels rushed out of the gates in the first match, taking the
doubles point. Caroline Rohde-Moe and Santa Shumilina defeated
Jackson State’s Rebekah Adewumi and Laura Rojas 8-2 at No. 2 doubles
while Vief Vlaar and Allie Robbins took an 8-1 victory at No. 3 doubles
to clinch a 1-0 Ole Miss lead.
Rohde-Moe, Mai El Kamash and Vlaar wrapped up the first match for Ole
Miss at one, two and three. Shumilina, Iris Verboven and Robbins
all won first sets before their matches were suspended.
The Rebels continued their success in the second match. El
Kamash and Verboven completed an 8-1 victory at No. 3 and Vlaar and
Robbins also took an 8-1 win at No. 2 to secure the doubles point.
Verboven, Rohde-Moe and Shumilina finished off the match for Ole Miss
with wins at five, one and four.
Ole Miss will return to action on Friday, hosting arch-rival
Mississippi State at the tennis center at 1 p.m. Each Ole Miss
fan will receive an Easter egg with a prize inside. The Rebels
will also host a doubleheader on Sunday against Southern Miss beginning
at 9 a.m.
