ORLANDO – Bethune-Cookman's comeback efforts against UConn fell short as the Lady Cats dropped a 4-3 decision to the Huskies Saturday afternoon.

UConn took the doubles points and the two of the first three singles matches to take a 3-1 lead. However, Adel Musina and Alejandra Vidal won their respective matches to tie it up.

The decisive match was between Chinatsu Kajiwara and UConn's  Emma Alderman at No. 2 singles.

Down 5-3 in the third set, Kajiwara won three straight games to take a 6-5 lead,  but was unable to hold her serve and Alderman prevailed 7-3 in the tiebreaker.

Gaby Chinchilla took two matches Saturday, winning her No. 4 singles match and combining with Kajiwara for a No. 2 doubles win.

“Outstanding performance from Gaby today,” said B-CU Head Coach Tim Pleasant. “She is really coming through as a senior leader for the team.”

The Lady Cats (1-3) travel to Stetson Wednesday.
