Senior Giulia Riepe and the Eagles took it to the South Carolina State Bulldogs on Tuesday by defeating them 5-2. This marked the first competition play for Southern this spring. With the addition of two new freshmen after fall, the Eagles are able to start on the right path as they look for a big season.
It was singles that carried the Eagles into victory on the day. Doubles did not get much momentum going for Southern. It was a tough time finding answers and the Eagles managed only one win from their three teams. The team of Riepe and freshman Emilia Bujan were the only ones to find a victory as they swept Oleksandra Fillippova and Carla Petreanu 6-0.
