ALBANY, Ga. (March 8, 2019)– Despite a good effort by the Albany State University women's tennis team they suffered a 7-0 loss to Huntingdon College on Friday.              

Due to a new NCAA scoring format for Division II programs this season, the scoring is handled differently than in Division III. In Division III, a team receives a point for each victory in doubles. In Division II, one point is awarded to the team that wins two or more of the doubles matches.

Per NCAA rules, when teams from different divisions compete, the rules of the home team's division are applied.

Huntingdon won all six singles matches and all three doubles matches.

Josie Waddell (No. 1), Kacy Howard (No. 2), Zoya Robinson (No. 3), Heather Tabor (No. 4), Clayton Waring (No. 5) and Alex Burnham (No. 6) each won all singles matches in straight sets.
