DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Bethune-Cookman won the doubles point but couldn't capitalize as North Dakota posted a 5-2 victory Saturday at City Island Tennis Center.

The tandems of Afrika Smith/Rehaana Butt and Michelle Ncube/Karen Romero gave the Wildcats (1-5)  a 1-0 lead, but the visiting Fighting Hawks (6-6) took four straight-set singles to clinch the match.

Butt added a singles victory for BCU, helping her improve to 3-2 in singles play this season. She and Smith are now 2-0 as a doubles combination.

BCU hosts two Spring Break matches, facing Troy Monday and Northern Illinois Tuesday.
