Box Score

Daytona Beach, Fla. - Bethune-Cookman fought hard but eventually stumbled to the visiting Rams of Rhode Island University, 7-0 on Wednesday afternoon at the City Island Tennis Complex in Daytona Beach, Fla.

B-CU (3-8) looked good at the No. 1 position for the doubles point as the team of junior Andrea Paez defeated RIU's Nyssa Peele and Grace Hedstrom, 8-7 (3). It would not be enough, however, as the `Cats fell 2-1 to fall in the doubles point.

With RIU (8-4) on top 1-0 after the doubles point, they wasted little time sweeping all six singles matches for the 7-0 shutout.

Sophomore Jeneice Ward also looked good for the Wildcats at the No. 3 position in a 6-1, 6-3 setback to Rhode Island's Hedstrom.
