Women's Tennis Defeats Drexel For Second Straight Win

PHILADELPHIA — The NJIT women's tennis team picked up its second straight win and sixth of the season with a 4-2 road victory over the Drexel Dragons Friday afternoon at the Vidas Courts.

The Highlanders (6-4) were unable to strike first after Drexel (2-8) won two of three in doubles but proceeded to take a 2-1 lead after Aya El Sayed and Amira Badawi won their respective No. 2 and No. 3 single flight matches in straight sets (with Badawi's opponent retiring in the second set).

Drexel managed to knot the match at 2-2 after winning the No. 1 flight but NJIT closed out the contest after Sandra Dzhambazov secured the win at No. 4 and Shalom Salvi won her match at No. 6.

NEXT UP
NJIT will spend next week's Spring Break in Texas to play three matches, beginning with a non-conference tilt with University of Texas Rio Grande Valley on Monday, March 14. The Highlanders will then face a pair of their new Southland Conference members in Texas A&M Corpus Christi (March 16) and Incarnate Word (March 17).
