DENTON, Texas – The No. 48 FIU women's tennis team cruised to a pair of convincing dual match victories this weekend as it posted a 4-0 win over Marshall on Saturday before following with a 4-1 win against North Texas on Sunday afternoon.
 
The wins extended the Panthers' current winning streak to five straight dual matches and improved their overall record to 7-2.
 
Senior Kamila Umarova was perfect on the weekend as she posted a pair of wins in the No. 2 singles position and joined up with teammate Andjela Skrobonja for two wins in the No. 1 doubles slot.
 
In the win over the Thundering Herd, Yasmine Kabbaj (No. 1), Umarova (No. 2) and Andreea Velcea (No. 4) posted singles wins.  Umarova and Skrobonja were joined by No. 2 tandem Veleca and Kristina Miletic as winners in doubles with a 6-1 win over Marshall's Madi Ballow and Jutte Van Hansewyck.
 
Umarova (No. 2), Skrobonja (No. 3) and Velcea (No. 4) each tabbed wins in singles during the victory over North Texas.  Umarova/Skrobonja (No. 1) and Velcea/Miletic (No. 2) each responded with a second straight win to secure the doubles point against the Mean Green.
