Coastal Carolina 6, College of Charleston 1

 

Maxine Capewell took the number one singles but that would not be enough as the College of Charleston women’s tennis team fell to the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, 6-1, this afternoon at the tennis center at Patriots Point in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.

The Cougars fall to 1-4, while the Chanticleers stay undefeated at 3-0.

The match was part of a fundraiser to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The College of Charleston women’s tennis team wore pink shirts and used pink tennis balls for the match. T-shirts and hats were sold as well, with all proceeds going to Breast Cancer Research.

The Cougars took one of the three doubles matches with Capewell and Ashley Finnegan taking the 7-6 win over Sofie Ahlberg and Sarize Coetzee at the number two spot. Coastal Carolina won at umber one and three for the doubles point.

Capewell defeated Virginie Dinh 6-2, 0-6, 6-2 at number one singles to highlight the Cougar effort this afternoon. Coastal Carolina would take the rest of the singles’ matches for the 6-1 victory.
