MOBILE, Ala.- South Alabama defeated in-state foe Troy in a 4-2 final at Bruce David Lubel Memorial Tennis Courts Sunday afternoon to begin Sun Belt Play. 

South improves their record to 8-2 on the season while extending their home winning streak to 25 straight wins. 

The Jaguars rolled through doubles as Chems Doha Zeghlouli and Kenza Elakili took down their opposition in a 6-1 final. Delien Kleinhans and Rio Maeda gave South the doubles point, defeating their opponents 6-4. 

Rio Maeda gave South their first points in singles play, grabbing a 6-3, 6-2 win. Chems Doha Zeghlouli engaged in a fierce battle, going down to the wire with a 6-4, 7-5 win. Delien Kleinhans ultimately sealed the deal for South as she battled, picking up the grueling 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 win. 

"That was a good win. Troy is tough", said head coach Dr. Jaco Keyser. "They got us last year at their place so it's a nice little measure of revenge. We are competing at an extremely high level and I feel like the quality of play was a little spotty at times today but a win is a win. We need to rest up and get ready for a tough Georgia State team tommorrow".

South will have a quick turnaround as they welcome Georgia State tomorrow at 10:00 AM.
