The LSU women’s tennis team is moving on in the Southeastern Conference tournament.
The No. 8 Lady Tigers defeated No. 9 Alabama, 4-2, today and will face No. 1-seeded Florida at 9 a.m. on Friday.
LSU lost the doubles point to the Crimson Tide but battled back in singles, winning four matches in straight sets.
Freshman Keri Frankenberger clinched the match with a 7-5, 6-2 victory against Alabama’s Antonia Foeshe. Frankenberger has clinched a team-high four matches this season.
“We were outplayed in doubles … but we really dominated the courts we won,” said LSU coach Tony Minnis. “The girls did a very good job on every court in singles.”
