The East Central Community College Lady Warriors fell to 1-2 over the weekend after losing to Jones College, 9-0.

Doubles play did not go in the Lady Warriors favor as Natalia Beltran (Bogota, Colombia) and Alejandra Vargas (Bogota, Colombia) fell at No. 1 doubles to Mia Hoddinghaus and Judith Mills, 8-1. Sarah Cline (Brandon) and Anna Moore (Decatur) teamed up at No. 2 doubles but lost 8-1 to Andrea Vlasceanu and Addy Seward, 8-1. Madison Autry (Kosciusko) and Madison Gregg (Maben) played in the No. 3 slot and cell 8-2 to Ally Brooke Chism and Stori Endt.

"This is possibly the best team in the conference," said ECCC head coach Jay Pacelli. "Despite the score, we had several players that improved their doubles play, and we are not discouraged as we look forward to Mississippi Gulf Coast."
