ABILENE - Abilene Christian women's tennis improved to 2-0 vs. the Southland Conference and climbed to within a match of .500 at 6-7 following Sunday's splendid 7-0 win over McNeese at the Eager Tennis Center.

Claire Fisher for the team lead with seven singles victories.
Adams won at No. 1, 6-1, 7-5 over Marija Mastilovic, and at No. 3 sophomore
Allison Stewart triumphed over Moreno, 6-3, 7-5.
ACU was pushed to a third set at the fourth and fifth positions. Freshman
