OXFORD, Miss. – The No. 30 Ole Miss women's tennis team fell short against No. 18 South Carolina 1-6.
The Rebels (10-6, 4-4 SEC) faced a tough matchup in doubles on all three courts, with nail-biting finishes, but ultimately lost the point heading into singles.
Emma Kette on court five secured another win with a 6-3, 6-1 victory. This marks a 6-1 SEC record for the sophomore this year. The Germany native continues to surpass her win total from her first year at Ole Miss, notching her 14th overall on the season
