Rattlers defeat Prairie View A&M 4-1 to improve SWAC record to 7-1

BATON ROUGE, La. –– Florida A&M tennis took care of business in Baton Rouge, beating the Panthers 4-1 to improve their Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) record to 7-1.
 
Sara Rakim and Genesis Whitelock won their doubles match 6-2 over Andrea Pascul Blanca and Francesca Duca. Rebekkah Gaines and Reagan Harris followed with a 6-3 win over Amaya Bobadilla and Cierra Garcia to give the Rattlers an early 1-0 lead in the match.
 
Harris picked up where she left off in doubles play, winning her singles match 6-2, 6-0 versus Joanne Fernandes. Susan Salinas also picked up a singles match victory, beating Bobadilla 6-3, 6-0. The Panthers battled back with a victory from Ainara Rodriguez 6-2, 6-1 versus Sierra Sandy. Sara Rakim clinched the match for the Rattlers, winning 6-2, 6-3 versus Victoria Castillo.
 
The Rattlers return to Tallahassee to play Alabama State this Sunday, April 7, at 11 a.m. Sunday's match has a lot on the line as the Rattlers play the 8-0 Hornets and both teams are battling for the #1 seed in the SWAC Tournament. A Rattlers win would also give them a share of the SWAC regular season championship with the Hornets and potentially Jackson State.
