Just Me Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 That LSU Tennis won a National Championship in Women's Doubles this year? I didn't. Congratulations to the Miss Golovin and Miss Richardson! WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. --- The LSU women’s tennis team claimed its first national title in the program’s 42-year history as Jessica Golovin and Eden Richardson completely dominated the final round of the NCAA Doubles Championships in straight sets Monday afternoon at the Wake Forest Tennis Complex. “This is huge for our program,” co-head coach Michael Sell said. “This win shows that LSU belongs among the teams that compete in the latter stages of tournaments and compete for the big trophies. We did it in the semis last year; this year we were able to take it two steps further. I’m really thrilled for every single girl on this team who stuck together and pushed each other all year.” Against the country’s No. 13 ranked pairing of Vladica Babic and Sofia Blanco, Golovin and Richardson had the match in hand from the very first serve, defeating the Oklahoma State duo 6-3, 6-2. “These girls showed so much heart and courage,” Sell said. “They took it step by step and got better as the tournament went along. They blended together from the start of the tournament. They believed more and more in each other and their communication got even stronger as the tournament went on.” Forced indoors yet again due to poor weather conditions, Golovin and Richardson wasted no time jumping out to an early 3-0 lead in the first set. They eventually built that lead to 5-2 and went on to win the first set, 6-3. The Tigers picked up where they left off and were even more dominant in the second set, defeating the Oklahoma State pairing 6-2 to claim the national title.
