South Alabama Falls on the Road to James Madison

Box Score HARRISBURG, Va.- The Jaguars fought hard Sunday morning in Harrisburg, but fell to James Madison in a 4-1 final. The loss drops South to 10-5 on the season and 3-3 in Sun Belt play. 

South started the day off in a hard-fought series of doubles matches. Unfortunately the Jaguars would lose the doubles point despite a great effort from Manal Ennaciri and Lara van der Merwe in which they came up short in a 4-6 defeat. 

In singles, South remained resilient. Kenza Elakili gave the Jaguars their first point, defeating her opponent 6-2, 6-0. The Jaguars battled on, but it would not be enough as the Dukes proved to be too much as South fell 4-1. 

QUOTES

"Tough day for the team", said head coach Dr. Jaco Keyser. Sometimes a match collapses on you like today. We need to process today very fast and reset for an important slate of matches upcoming. 

UP NEXT

South will return to Mobile as they take on Jacksonville State this Wednesday at 1:00 PM.
