St. John’s University women’s tennis team secured a 4-0 win over Bethune-Cookman at the South Fulton Tennis Center in Daytona Beach, Florida, on Wednesday.
The Red Storm, now holding a 9-4 overall record and 2-0 in BIG EAST play, began the match by capturing the doubles point. Charlotta Buss and Giulia Bizzari defeated Zahara El-Zein and Jalayah Shaw with a score of 6-2 on the No. 2 court. St. John’s also received an uncontested win for the doubles point as Bethune-Cookman could not field a pairing on the No. 3 court.
Alicia Gomez extended St. John’s lead to two points with a default victory on the No. 1 singles court. Buss then added another point by winning against Rosalida Asumwa, 6-0, 6-1 on court four. The match was clinched when Noemi Babikova defeated Maria Vargas, 6-1, 6-1 on court two.
This result marks consecutive season victories for St. John’s over Bethune-Cookman and improves their record to nine wins this season.
