KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- The Kenyon College women's tennis team ran the show against Rhodes College on Monday evening, landing a fourth straight victory after sweeping the Lynx (5-3). The Owls cruised overall to down Rhodes 7-0, but Kenyon still had to show its toughness to prevail in a couple of tough matches at the Oak Street Park Sports Complex.

The team also improved to 4-1 over the course of its spring break trip, and Kenyon has two more chances to close out its Florida campaign on a high note with the second half of a streak of four straight days of play on deck.

All three doubles matchups between the Owls and the Lynx were competitive, with the competition ramping up higher up the ladder.

The Owls locked in and closed out the win in the extra frame, prevailing 7-3 in the tiebreak to clinch the 7-6 decision. Though the Nos. 2 and 3 doubles matches left a little more breathing room, the teams were still only separated by five combined points. Shadia Amado Aguad and Clare Hudson had success at No. 2 with a 6-4 victory, while Lalasa Nagireddy and Maggie Shope secured a 6-3 win in the No. 3 spot.

As usual, Lazaridou held down the top spot in the lineup. The junior won 6-2, 6-3 for her fifth straight singles victory.

Nouaime's No. 5 match was the lone contest that needed a third set, but she finished strong to secure Kenyon's sweep.

In the tiebreak, Nouaime closed out the tightly contested win, prevailing 10-8.
