HILTON HEAD, S.C. --- The George Fox women's tennis program snapped a two-game losing skid with a 7-2 win against Augustana (Ill.) on Monday, Mar. 21, at the PTR Spring Tennis Fest.

How It Happened

George Fox got out to a hot start in doubles play with two wins against the Vikings.

VanderYacht was the first to finish and needed less than an hour to complete a 6-0, 6-0 sweep on court five. McDonald notched a quick 6-2, 6-0 win on court four, and Abigail Bond clinched the team win officially with a 6-3, 6-0 win on court six.
