DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – B-CU fell short against the Southern Jaguars 4-0 Saturday at the Crotty Tennis Complex in Daytona Beach.
 


Southern (1-5) took the doubles points after a victory from its number two duo of Kai Wince and LeTasha Grant 6-3. Since the third doubles match was forfeited by the Wildcats (2-7), the top dual went unfinished.

Singles play was highly contested. However, Southern received decisive victories from Tsiang Tshegofatso and Antoine Decora, which was ultimately enough to win the match.

Maria Romero Vargas won her first set 6-2 and was ahead 5-1 in the second set before the game was called.

Zaraha El-Zein and Taylor O'Neal also won hard-fought sets 7-5 before the conclusion of the match.
