Alexcie Burrows produced a masterclass in efficiency as Virginia State University (VSU) delivered a ruthless performance to defeat Virginia Union 4-0 in their latest CIAA encounter.
The Trojans were in imperious form from the opening serves, with Burrows playing a pivotal role in ensuring a clean sheet for the visitors. The tone was set early in the doubles competition, where Burrows partnered with Damita Bollers in the number three spot. The duo showcased clinical chemistry, dismantling the Virginia Union pairing of Marianna Brooks and Andrea Sanjurjo with a flawless 6-0 victory to help secure the all-important doubles point.
Burrows carried that momentum directly into the singles matches, where she proved equally untouchable. Competing in the number five position against Maya Mercer, the Bermudian standout didn't drop a single game. Her precise baseline play and aggressive serving forced a succession of errors from Mercer, resulting in a dominant 6-0, 6-0 straight-sets win.
The victory further solidifies VSU's standing in the conference as they continue their push toward the postseason. For Burrows, the afternoon served as a definitive reminder of her value to the Trojans' lineup, combining tactical awareness with a clinical edge that left the Panthers with no answers on the court.
With the team firing on all cylinders, the focus now shifts to their upcoming road trip, where they will look to maintain this momentum against further CIAA opposition.
