No. 13 Mississippi Gulf Coast added another main draw win Sunday at the NJCAA Division I Women’s Tennis Championship in Mesa, Ariz, with Kaylen Bond and Anna Stringer exacting some revenge.

The No. 2 doubles team beat East Central’s Sara Cline and Anna Moore 6-3, 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinals.

“They lost to that team twice in the regular season, so it’s cool for them to get that win,” Gulf Coast coach Sam Blackburn said. “They played clean. When they lose, they’re making unforced errors and not finishing points. Today, Anna was a beast at the net. Kaylen missed one ball the entire match, I think. I’m super impressed with them.”

The Stone County duo continued a trend of Gulf Coast players playing their best matches of the season in Arizona. The Bulldogs won three main draw matches on the first day Saturday, and the Bond-Stringer victory was a three-pointer. They’ll play the tournament’s two-seed Monday afternoon.

Gulf Coast has four other matches to play Monday, all in the backdraw. Bond has a No. 3 singles match, and Tia Topps (So., Grenada/Grenada) and Ashley Chelette (Fr., Vancleave/Vancleave) have a No. 3 doubles match as well as their respective Nos. 6 and 6 singles contests.
