INDIANAPOLIS - On the final day of the 2026 ITA Division II Women's National Team Indoor Championship, the No. 3 University of North Georgia (UNG) women's tennis team used a dominant singles performance to defeat Indianapolis 4-2 Sunday, overcoming an early deficit after doubles play.

The Greyhounds claimed the doubles point, taking decisions at the No. 1 and No. 3 positions. Maelys Thiery-James and Magda Kornijczuk defeated Anastasiia Opolska and Olesya Stokusova 7-5 at No. 1 doubles, while Jimena De Pablos and Sofia Cardenas secured a 6-0 win over Sofia Giraldo and Erika Terek at No. 3.
