No. 20 Tennessee (9-2, 1-0 SEC) defeated No, 43 Arkansas (7-4, 0-1 SEC), 6-1, Friday at Billingsley Tennis Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Friday’s match is the 774th all time win for Tennessee and the 130th victory for head coach Alison Ojeda with the Lady Vols.
“Going into the match, we knew Arkansas was going to swing freely against us, no question about that,” Ojeda said. “They did, we went out in doubles and won the point, which I liked, I thought we did a good job and so did Arkansas. What I love about what Esther (Adeshina) did was she got on and off the court quickly. It’s her fifth year in the SEC and she understands how important it is. The leadership that she provided and continues to provide is critical.”
