CHARLESTON – After facing two SEC-opponents on opening weekend, the Charleston Southern Women's Tennis team suited up on their home court for a Friday face-off with the Wofford Terriers. The Bucs would secure their first overall victory of the Spring 2026 season, 4-3.

Charleston Southern struck first in singles play as Carlota Farres Carreter cruised to a 6-2, 6-1 win over Ella Suk on the #3 court. Shortly after, true freshman Amike Botha added another point with a 7-5, 6-0 victory against Grace Stout on the #5 court. Graduate Assistant Coach Amila Jusufbegovic commented on the freshman getting the first win of her collegiate career saying,

"I'm very proud of Amike getting her first ever college win today. It is always very special to see the freshmen helping the team."

At the top of the lineup, Marina Skegro delivered a composed performance on court #1, defeating Wofford's premier singles talent Grace Agster 6-4, 6-4. Brenda Yoris clinched the victory for the Buccaneers at No. 2, battling past Quinn Bernthal 7-6 (7-1), 6-2.

The Bucs' next competition will be in Jacksonville, Florida against both North Florida and Florida A&M. When asked how important Friday's win was for the program heading into an event with other talented mid-major programs, Coach Jusufbegovic said,
