Final Stats

NORFOLK, Va. - Aliona Bolsova and Natalia Boltinskaya picked up singles victories, but the Florida Atlantic University women's tennis team suffered a 5-2 loss in its spring opener at Old Dominion Saturday.

Quotable

"We had some opportunities to get on top today and didn't take them seriously," FAU Head Coach Marcy Hora-Cava said. "Playing a school like ODU, you can't give them an inch or they will take a foot. I have a good idea of what we need to focus on tomorrow and each of us have learned from a few mistakes today"
