#2 College of Charleston 5, #3 Furman 0

The College of Charleston Cougars downed Furman 5-0 Saturday afternoon to earn a berth in Sunday's Southern Conference Women's Tennis Tournament Championship match.

Due to inclement weather, the match was moved to the Charleston Tennis Center and began with singles play. 

The Cougars jumped out to a 2-0 lead on the strength of wins at No. 5 and No. 6 singles.  Jenny Falcone topped Alex Moreno-Kate 6-1, 6-2 at No. 5 while Katie Lee beat Amanda Murray 6-2, 6-1 at No. 6.

College of Charleston's Kelly Kambourelis rallied after dropping the first set to pull out a three-set victory over Michel Stanford at No. 2 (1-6, 6-1, 6-4).

With the Cougars (24-5) holding a 3-0 lead in the match, CofC picked up two points almost instantaneously to earn the win.  Samantha Maddox battled for a three-set victory over Margaret Boyette (6-4, 5-7, 6-4) at No. 4 and Christin Newman beat Lauren Kline 7-5, 7-5 at No. 1 seconds later to give the Cougars the win.

CofC will look for its fourth consecutive Southern Conference tournament championship Sunday when the Cougars take on UNCG.  Furman ends its season 14-10.
