Florida Atlantic University's women's tennis team participated in the MAC Fall Tournament, hosted by the Chris Evert Tennis Academy located in Boca Raton. Sophomore Natalia Boltinskaya captured Singles Flight A Gold and teamed with fellow sophomore Jemi Aguilar to advance to the Flight A Doubles finale.

"The tournament was great competition and it was an opportunity for the team to play on clay courts," said Marcy Cava, FAU head women's tennis coach. "Natalia was down a set in the finals, but refused to lose and changed up her style of game to get the win."
