HAMPTON, Va. – UNC Asheville Women's Tennis improves to 11-2 and 3-1 in Big South play after a 7-0 shutout win at Hampton.

Love and Faureng followed behind with victories of 6-2, 6-4, and 6-1, 6-1, while Kendall Byers and Siegel won 6-1, 6-0, and 6-2, 6-0.

Dougah moves to 11 singles wins on the year, surpassing her total of 10 in the 2021 campaign, while Steenkamp also moves to 11 singles wins.
