DAHLONEGA and GAINESVILLE, Ga. – The Armstrong Atlantic State tennis squads swept a Peach Belt Conference dual match on Sunday at North Georgia, continuing both teams' perfect start to the 2007 season. The Lady Pirates also picked up a 9-0 victory over Brenau later in the afternoon.

The men won five singles and two doubles matches against the short-handed Saints, who only had five players active for the match. The Lady Pirates had little trouble with the Lady Saints, dropping just eight points total in the match, then AASU visited NAIA foe Brenau and picked up its fourth win of the season.

Both teams return to action on Tuesday, February 13, with a 1:00 p.m. matchup with PBC foe Augusta State.
