CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (April 21, 2022) – The ETSU Women’s Tennis took down UNCG 4-0 in the quarterfinal match in the 2022 SoCon Women’s Tennis Tournament.

Alfaro and Mayya Gorbunova (Moscow, Russia) clinched the doubles point with a 6-0 win at the No. 2 doubles spot. Alfaro and Gorbunova were named second-team all-conference as a doubles pair yesterday.

The Blue & Gold await their semifinal opponent between Samford, the No. 3 seed, and Western Carolina, the No. 6 seed. ETSU will play at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning against one of those opponents at the Champions Club in Chattanooga, Tenn.
