The Oglethorpe University women's tennis team lost to Kalamazoo
in Orlando, Florida today, 7-2. The Stormy Petrels will try to win
their first spring break match later today against Luther.

that Oglethorpe could not surpass. Alison Burt and Jayme Danielson
(8-0) were blanked from the number one doubles position and Sarah
Beth Britt and Molly Colvard (8-4) went down at the number two
spot. The duo of LaDonna Barnes and Kayla Atkins (9-7) managed to
salvage a doubles point for the Petrels from the number three slot.
In the singles matches, only No. 6 Kimberly O'Dell (7-6, 6-2)
was able to break through against Kalamazoo as No. 1 Danielson
(6-0, 6-3), No. 2 Britt (7-5, 6-4), No. 3 Colvard (6-2, 6-2), No. 4
Burt (7-6, 6-2) and No. 5 Sarah Duff (6-2, 6-2) all fell in their
matches.
