Women’s Tennis Falls to In-State Foe FGCU, 5-2
2/2/2019 5:13:00 PM | Women's Tennis
The Florida Atlantic University women's tennis team (1-3) traveled to Fort Myers, Florida where the Owls faced Florida Gulf Coast University, their fourth-consecutive dual match Florida opponent in as many matches. FGCU bested the Owls 5-2.
FAU dropped the doubles point at each position. Moving to singles play, newcomer Natalie Kallmunzerova picked up a 6-2, 6-2 victory at No. 4 singles and redshirt sophomore Ja'Cara Gillis won at No. 6 6-2, 6-2.
Both Martina Kudelova's and Kristen Thoms' matches were extended to three sets.
Cava's Chatter
"Fitness is improving, but is still playing a vital role in a few match outcomes, said Marcy Cava, FAU's head women's tennis coach, who welcomed five new players at mid-year. "We have a new team this semester, so we are still learning the importance of relying on each other."
