PERKINSTON — No. 21 Mississippi Gulf Coast got back on the winning foot Tuesday, blanking Southwest Mississippi in women’s tennis action.

 

The Bulldogs won 9-0 in their first matches on the newly resurfaced courts at the MGCCC Tennis Complex.

 

“We love coming out and winning fast and easy,” Gulf Coast coach Sam Blackburn said. “I always tell them we’re not going to waste any time on the court. We want to get on and get off, and that’s what they did today. They did it perfectly.”

 

Gulf Coast improves to 5-4 overall, 5-3 in MACCC play. Southwest is 0-6, 0-6.

 

The Bulldogs dropped three games in winning the three doubles courts and only two in 12 sets of singles play.

 

Gulf Coast plays at Copiah-Lincoln on Friday. First serves will be at 1 p.m.
