STARKVILLE – Mississippi State’s women’s tennis team is gearing up to face Tennessee State in a doubleheader on Sunday.

The opening match is slated to start at 10 a.m. and the next match beginning at 2 p.m. inside the Rula Tennis Pavilion.

Alexandra Mikhailuk has also been on a streak with having won six straight matches dating back to the fall. As a team, the Bulldogs have collected 20 singles wins this season.

 

Antonaki is only three wins away from claiming the No. 1 spot in the MSU record book for career singles wins.

 

In doubles, the tandem of Antonaki and Gia Cohen have continued their success by winning in fashion with a 6-0 victory over Arkansas State.
