OXFORD, Miss- Ole Miss women's tennis split its weekend doubleheader on Sunday at the William F. Galtney Indoor Tennis Center
The Rebels (7-2, 0-0 SEC) dropped its first matchup of the day against Iowa (5-2, 0-0 Big Ten), 4-1, but rebounded in the afternoon to claim a strong 7-0 victory over Alcorn State (3-9, 0-0 SWAC).
Head coach Mark Beyers earned his 300th win as Ole Miss' head coach in the afternoon bout against Alcorn State. Beyers is the only active coach in the SEC with three generations of wins exclusively at their current institution. Beyers, who became Ole Miss' winningest head coach in 2019, becomes the only Rebel coach to eclipse the 300-win mark.
The win also marked No. 350 in his overall coaching career, after claiming 50 in three seasons with Armstrong Atlantic State prior to joining Ole Miss. He has the 23rd most wins among all active NCAA Division I Coaches and sits atop the SEC in that category.
Sophomore Andrea Nova highlighted Ole Miss' efforts in the doubleheader. She won all four of her appearances, and both her singles matches in straight sets. Her and doubles partner Lucie Petruzelova gave up on only two games across both matches for a combined 12-2 day. She won her match against Alcorn State, 6-0, 6-0, and was the first to finish.
