STARKVILLE, Miss. - The No. 13 University of Florida women's tennis team remained undefeated in Southeastern Conference play on Sunday afternoon with a 4-0 sweep of the No. 22 Mississippi State Bulldogs in Starkville, Miss. The Gators are now 11-2 on the season with their second consecutive shutout.

Florida jumped on Mississippi State early in the contest with the No. 7-ranked tandem of Brooke Austin and Kourtney Keegan blanking the No. 34-ranked pairing of Harrison and Patrasc, 6-0. For the third consecutive match, Anna Danilina and Brianna Morgan clinched the doubles point for the Orange and Blue with a 6-1 victory over Rentouli and Vozniak.

In singles action, Austin quickly defeated the No. 9-ranked Jasmine Lee, 6-2, 6-2 to put the Gators ahead 2-0. Danilina was the next off the court with a 6-2, 6-4 win on five over Kristina Vozniak. Junior Spencer Liang would get the match-clinching victory on court six with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Jennifer Brown.

The Gators will continue this road stretch of their schedule against the No. 9 South Carolina Gamecocks next Saturday in Columbia, S.C.

Coach Thornqvist's Thoughts
On the match victory today…
"We played another really good match from start to finish. We showed real toughness again at times today. Doubles was once more really good on all three courts. We got off to quick starts in singles. We are playing with a lot of intelligence and heart. We showed a lot of toughness even in matches where we were not playing great and finding ways to get back in the match and eventually turn the match around. By now, I am really happy where we are and we are happy to return back to Gainesville with two wins in our back pocket.
