AUBURN- The Auburn women's tennis team defeated the Purdue Boilermakers 5-4 at the
Luther Young Tennis Center. The Tigers improve to 3-1 on the season while the Boilermakers
fall to 1-2.
"This was a great win over a very feisty Purdue team who is going to win a lot of
matches. Today our top players really stepped up big, led by Simone Jardim at No.2. This was a
good win for our program," stated Head Coach Troy Porco.
Sophomore Simone Jardim led the way by defeating Erica Quebe, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6, on court

played on court two.
