Charlotte, NC – The Johnson C. Smith University women's softball team earned a pair of victories against St. Paul's College (9-0, 9-0) over the weekend on the Coleman/Cuthbertson Tennis Courts. JCSU improves to 13-13 overall, 10-6 in the CIAA, and enter the 2011 CIAA Tennis Championship Tournament on a three-match winning streak.
Scheduling conflicts prohibited these two teams from facing each other at the cross-divisional round ups earlier this season. Johnson C. Smith worked in some fine tuning against the Lady Tigers. Though St. Paul's is a conference opponent, neither match counted towards the teams CIAA record.
The freshman duo of Keina Love (Wilson, NC) and
Felicia Akande (Winston-Salem, NC) outplayed Tracy Turner and Zion Jarrett 8-0 at the number one doubles spot. Both doubles' combinations of number two pair sophomore
