BEREA, Ky. --- Asbury men's and women's tennis 2023 season came to a close Friday afternoon after both teams clinched a clean sweep over Berea College.
After sweeping the fall in doubles, the men's team found a win over the Mountaineers 9-0. The women had to stop the No. 6 singles match early due to lightening, as to why the ninth win was not recorded.

Alejo Britos and
Franco Patino took the No. 2 doubles match, and the No. 3 match was won by
AJ Hughes and
Gregorio Bustingorri (8-1).
The rest of the men's team went on to win their matches, resulting in a 9-0 shutout for AU. Men's tennis concluded their 2023 season with an impressive record of 10-3.
The women's team started quick in doubles, with No.1
Kourtney Kawata and
Megan Moore shutting out the Mountaineers (8-0). Following the trail blaze,
Fernanda Heredia and
Mikaela West won the No. 2 match (8-1), and the Eagles finished doubles with an E.Crawford/A. Colton win (8-4).
The women brought their momentum into the singles matches, continuing to dominate and finish with an 8-0 shutout. Women's tennis finishes the 2023 season with an overall record of 5-5.
