Box score
MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - The Charleston Southern tennis team saw its
five match winning streak come to an end in a hard-fought 4-3 loss
to No. 74 College of Charleston at the Tennis Center at Patriots
Point on Saturday morning.
Alexandra Walters once again set the tone for the Bucs by
running her singles mark to a perfect 10-0 with a come-from-behind
victory over the Cougar's Jenny Falcone. Falcone took the first
set, 6-4, but Walters flipped the script in the second set and then
forced a tie-break in the third and final set. Walters gutted out
the win in that one, taking it by a 14-12 final.
Marija Dzakovic and Alia Nour also notched singles wins for CSU
out of the number four and six slots, respectively. Nour's win was
particulary impressive, as it came over Charleston's No. 113
ranked, Katie Lee, 7-6, 7-5.
Charleston did enough to prevail by claiming the doubles point
as well as the number one through three singles matches. Dzakovic
and Olga Makhova earned the Bucs only win at doubles, topping
Charleston's Samantha Maddox and Irene Viana by a 9-7 count.
CSU heads back to the courts once again on Monday when it meets
UMass in another out-of-conference battle. The Bucs and Minutemen
are scheduled to begin competition at the Buccaneer Tennis Center
at 2 p.m.
