No. 7 Academy of Art versus Holy Names Final Results

OAKLAND, Calif. – With three-consecutive wins and following an 8-1 victory over Dominican, No. 7 Academy of Art women's tennis entered Sunday's contest with Holy Names with a full head of steam. Therefore, it was no surprise that their momentum carried them to their fourth-straight win, a perfect, 9-0 sweep over the Hawks.
 
In both the second and third doubles positions, the Urban Knights were flawless as they did not concede a single game (8-0 in each). No. 6-ranked twins Alma Thell-Lenntorp and Klara Thell-Lenntorp also won their match up top by the score of 8-4.
 
ART U was nearly invincible in singles as well, taking all six matches in straight sets. There were four Urban Knights who recorded a set without allowing a single game to be won by their opponent, including: junior Monika Stanikova (second set), sophomore Mariacistina Andrisani (first set), A. Thell-Lenntorp (second set), and junior Paula Alcantara (second set). In fact, Holy Names only averaged a miniscule, 1.41 games per set against the Urban Knights.
 
Now 4-1 overall, ART U will next head to Stanislaus on February 24 to take on the Warriors for the second time this season. The last time that the two teams faced off, Academy of Art produced the same score that they put forward on Sunday afternoon against HNU: a 9-0 sweep.
