ASHEVILLE, N.C. – After securing a 6-1 win in a makeup match against North Carolina A&T on Monday, Women's Tennis returns to Asheville on Wednesday when it hosts Gardner-Webb at 2:00 p.m.
Monday's win pushed Asheville's record to 8-0 in large part to Linge Steenkamp's stellar performance, winning her doubles match 6-2 paired with Ari Siegel as the No. 2 duo, and earning her first career 6-0, 6-0 singles victory on the No. 2 court.
Gardner-Webb is 3-4 on the season and 1-0 in Big South play, shutting out the Hampton Pirates on Monday 7-0.
The Bulldogs are 6-8 against the Runnin' Bulldogs in matches dating back to 2005 and lost the most recent matchup last season 4-3 in a match that came down to a three-set finish on the No. 3 singles court.
Wednesday's match against Gardner-Webb will start at 2:00 p.m. at the Asheville Racquet Club Downtown.
