SWAC Women's, Men's Tennis Champs bow out of NCAA Tournament

Jackson State women, Alcorn State men lose in first round

Jackson State loses to Georgia Tech

ATLANTA– (courtesy Georgia Tech Sports Information) Irina Falconi, Amanda McDowell and Lynn Blau each captured their singles matches without losing a game, and 8th-ranked Georgia Tech blanked Jackson State, 4-0, in the first round of the NCAA Atlanta Tennis Regional at the Bill Moore Tennis Center.

Tech opened by getting a pair of 8-0 victories at the No. 2 and 3 positions. McDowell and Blau blanked Geneva Warren and Valentina Prado at No. 3, and Falconi and Sasha Krupina clinched the point with a shutout win over Asha Saravan Mohan and Angele Rose.

That momentum carried into the singles competition as Falconi, a freshman from Jupiter, Fla., defeated Paulina Vargas, 6-0, 6-0, and McDowell, a junior from Atlanta, downed Geneva Warren by the same score. Blau, a freshman from Koerich, Luzembourg, closed out the match with a 6-0, 6-0 win against Rose.

“We knew it would be tough for us,” said Jackson State head coach Niji Olagbegi. “We’re playing a team that won the national championship two years ago. You’ve got to give Georgia Tech credit. They are all good players. But we gave a good effort, and we look forward to coming back.”

Grambling University VS Texas Southern In Houston

Texas Southern Football

HOUSTON – The Grambling State University at Texas Southern University football game scheduled for Thursday, November 20 in San Antonio, Texas has been moved back to Houston. 

The game will be played at Houston Independent School District’s Delmar Stadium.  This Southwestern Athletic Conference game will be nationally televised live on ESPNU and is scheduled to kickoff at 8:05 p.m.

“We were approached earlier by a promoter about playing this game in San Antonio,” said TSU Athletics Director Charles McClelland.  “Because some essential details were not worked out in a timely manner, we decided that it was in the best interest of TSU to bring the game back to Houston.”
