Montgomery, AL—West Florida dominated GSC Tennis Championship Sunday winning both Men’s and Women’s Titles for the second consecutive year. 

UWF claimed both Titles within seconds of each other, starting the men which wrapped up a 5-1 decision over No. 3 seed West Alabama.  The Argonauts held a 2-1 lead heading into singles play, but the defending GSC Champions made quick work versus the Tigers capped by Tony Rajaobelina’s 6-3, 6-2 win at No. 3 singles. 

West Florida’s Title tied the school for the all-time number of Men’s Tennis Championships (10), which the Argos now share with rival Valdosta State.    UWF ran its winning streak to 18 in a row and it also garnered an automatic berth to the NCAA Championships.  West Alabama, Delta State and Alabama-Huntsville hold out hopes for at-large bids.
