Virginia State University’s women’s tennis team produced a masterclass in dominance, dismantling Bowie State 6-0 in a performance that sent a clear message to the rest of the conference.
Led by a clinical Alexcie Burrows, the Trojans didn't just win; they dictated every minute of play, refusing to drop a single match across both doubles and singles frames.
The tone was set early during the doubles pairings. The duo of Alexcie Burrows and Damita Bollers looked in mid-season form as they dismantled Bowie State’s Daisy Pentorn and Mil'lanni Marte.
The Trojans pair moved with telepathic understanding, securing a 6-0 "bagel" to get the scoreboard moving. With Virginia State sweeping all three doubles matches, the momentum was firmly entrenched in the home camp heading into the individual duels.
The singles matches offered no respite for the visiting Bulldogs. Virginia State’s senior core took center stage, occupying the top three spots in the lineup and delivering a trio of commanding victories.
No. 1 Spot: Senior Makensie Pago set the pace with a disciplined victory to maintain the Trojan surge.
No. 2 Spot: Damita Bollers carried her doubles form into the singles, overpowering her opponent with a display of powerful baseline hitting.
No. 3 Spot: Burrows provided the highlight of the afternoon, securing a flawless 6-0, 6-0 victory over Verneice Herndon.
Burrows’ "double bagel" was a testament to her unrelenting consistency, as she refused to concede a single game in a ruthless straight-sets display.
