FLORENCE, SC – Sophomore Hermon Mikael and freshman Viktoria Leth both contributed two wins to help Francis Marion University to a 5-2 non-conference win over short-handed Coker University, Saturday afternoon (Feb. 20) in women's tennis action.
 
Francis Marion (1-2) will host Barton College on Sunday at noon on the Kassab Courts.
 
Mikael and Leth defeated Charlotte Clarke and Zoe Heed 6-2 at the No.1 spot to deliver the doubles point to FMU.
 
With the Cobras (0-3) defaulting the No.5 and No.6 singles matches, Francis Marion needed only one singles victory to clinch the match and Leth earned that point with a 6-0, 6-1 win at the No.3 position. 
 
Mikael improved to 12-1 all-time in singles play with a 7-6 (7-0), 6-1 win at No.1 singles.
