MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Anna Gaprindashvili won at No. 5 singles, but it was not enough as the 12th ranked Lindsey Wilson women's tennis team saw a lead vanish in doubles and couldn't recover in singles play, as top -ranked Auburn-Montgomery won 6-3 on Tuesday at the AUM Tennis Complex.

The Warhawks (16-2) were dominant in the first four singles matches, winning them all in straight sets.

Morgane Zowczak and Kveta Hajkova had an easier time at the No. 2 seed, shutting out Lindsey Wilson's Diana Gerlakh and Laura Vergara 8-0.
